• Choice E

    First simplify the original expression:

    (49415)1/3=(4915)1/3=(46)1/3=42=116\left(\frac{4^9}{4^{15}}\right)^{1/3} = (4^{9-15})^{1/3} = (4^{-6})^{1/3} = 4^{-2} = \frac{1}{16}

    Now check each answer choice to find which is not equivalent to 116\dfrac{1}{16}.

    Choice E: (424)1/3=424/3=48=65,536(4^{24})^{1/3} = 4^{24/3} = 4^8 = 65,536

    Since 65,53611665,536 \neq \dfrac{1}{16}, choice E is not equivalent to the original expression.
