Solution
We have to find the value of \[\frac{1}{14}\left\{ ( 4^m )^{1/2} + \left( \frac{1}{5^m} \right)^{- 1} \right\}\] provided `2^-m xx 1/2^m = 1/4`
Consider,
`2^-m xx 1/2^m = 1/4`
=`1/2^m xx 1/2^m`
= `1/(2^m xx 2^m)`
`= 1/2^(2m) = 1/2^2`
Equating the power of exponents we get
`2m = 2`
`m=2/2`
`m=1`
By substituting \[\frac{1}{14}\left\{ ( 4^m )^{1/2} + \left( \frac{1}{5^m} \right)^{- 1} \right\}\] we get
\[\frac{1}{14}\left\{ ( 4^m )^{1/2} + \left( \frac{1}{5^m} \right)^{- 1} \right\}\] = \[\frac{1}{14}\left\{ ( 4^m )^{1× 1/2} + \left( \frac{1}{5^m} \right)^{- 1} \right\}\]
`= 1/14 {2^(2xx1/2)+ 1/5^-1}`
`= 1/14 {2^(2xx1/2)+ 1/(1/5)}`
`= 1/14 {2 + 1 xx 5/1}`
\[\frac{1}{14}\left\{ ( 4^m )^{1/2} + \left( \frac{1}{5^m} \right)^{- 1} \right\}\] = `1/14 {2+5}`
=`1/14 (7)`
`= 1/14 xx 7`
= `1/2`
