The correct Answer is:
To solve the inequality \( \frac{16^{\frac{1}{x}}}{2^{x+3}} > 1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the inequality We start by rewriting \( 16 \) as \( 2^4 \): \[ \frac{(2^4)^{\frac{1}{x}}}{2^{x+3}} > 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2^{\frac{4}{x}}}{2^{x+3}} > 1 \] ### Step 2: Combine the exponents Using the properties of exponents, we can combine the fractions: \[ 2^{\frac{4}{x} - (x + 3)} > 1 \] Since \( 1 = 2^0 \), we can rewrite the inequality as: \[ \frac{4}{x} - (x + 3) > 0 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the inequality Now, we simplify the left-hand side: \[ \frac{4}{x} - x - 3 > 0 \] Multiplying through by \( x \) (noting that we need to consider the sign of \( x \)): \[ 4 - x^2 - 3x > 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -x^2 - 3x + 4 > 0 \] or \[ x^2 + 3x - 4 < 0 \] ### Step 4: Factor the quadratic Next, we factor the quadratic: \[ (x + 4)(x - 1) < 0 \] ### Step 5: Find critical points The critical points from the factors are: \[ x = -4 \quad \text{and} \quad x = 1 \] ### Step 6: Test intervals We will test intervals defined by the critical points: 1. \( (-\infty, -4) \) 2. \( (-4, 1) \) 3. \( (1, \infty) \) - **Interval \( (-\infty, -4) \)**: Choose \( x = -5 \) \[ (-5 + 4)(-5 - 1) = (-1)(-6) > 0 \quad \text{(not a solution)} \] - **Interval \( (-4, 1) \)**: Choose \( x = 0 \) \[ (0 + 4)(0 - 1) = (4)(-1) < 0 \quad \text{(solution)} \] - **Interval \( (1, \infty) \)**: Choose \( x = 2 \) \[ (2 + 4)(2 - 1) = (6)(1) > 0 \quad \text{(not a solution)} \] ### Step 7: Conclusion The solution to the inequality is: \[ x \in (-4, 1) \] Thus, the values that are not solutions include \( (-\infty, -4) \) and \( (1, \infty) \). ### Final Answer Among the options given, the one that is **not** a solution is: \[ \text{Option C: } (0, \infty) \]

To solve the inequality \( \frac{16^{\frac{1}{x}}}{2^{x+3}} > 1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the inequality We start by rewriting \( 16 \) as \( 2^4 \): \[ \frac{(2^4)^{\frac{1}{x}}}{2^{x+3}} > 1 \] This simplifies to: ...
