Answer (1)

Let's solve the expression step-by-step:
Given expression:
2 − 1 [ ( 2 5 ​ ) 4 + ( 5 3 ​ ) − 2 ] ÷ 9 17 ​

Start by evaluating the exponents:

2 − 1 = 2 1 ​
( 2 5 ​ ) 4 = 2 4 5 4 ​ = 16 625 ​
( 5 3 ​ ) − 2 = ( 3 5 ​ ) 2 = 3 2 5 2 ​ = 9 25 ​

Substitute back into the expression:

2 1 ​ [ 16 625 ​ + 9 25 ​ ] ÷ 9 17 ​

Add the fractions inside the brackets. To do this, find a common denominator which is 144:

16 625 ​ = 144 625 × 9 ​ = 144 5625 ​
9 25 ​ = 144 25 × 16 ​ = 144 400 ​
Add them:
144 5625 ​ + 144 400 ​ = 144 6025 ​

Multiply by 2 1 ​ :

2 1 ​ × 144 6025 ​ = 288 6025 ​

Divide by 9 17 ​ :

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
288 6025 ​ × 17 9 ​

Calculate:

288 × 17 6025 × 9 ​
Simplify the fractions if possible:
4896 54225 ​ ≈ 11.08
Therefore, the value of the expression is approximately 11.08 .
