Since the 2 and x^1/4 are multiplying we can do the math separately and then just multiply them afterwards

2^-4 is the same as 1/(2^4) which is 1/16

(x^1/4)^-4 (POWER RULES REVIEW)
2 exponents of same base you just add (basically multiply the two)
so x^(1/4x-4) = x^(-1)

which is just 1/x

so the answer is 1/16x
