Answer:
[tex]2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] {16}^{ \frac{1}{4} } \: is \: the \: same \: as \\ \\ \sqrt[4]{16} = \sqrt[4]{ {4}^{2} } [/tex]
Note we broke down the 16 into 4 squared*. This is because 4 squared is the same as 16. The four and the two would cancel each other leaving:
[tex] \sqrt[2]{4} \;\\ or \\ \: \sqrt [2]{{2}^{2}} [/tex]
Like before the two and the two would cancel each other out leaving:
[tex]2[/tex]
