Question
$$16^{4/10} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 16^{4/10} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 10 }. \\[1 em]10\cdot16^{4/10} &= 10\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]30 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 30 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
