Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Identify the given expression which is (2021)4\left(\frac{20}{21}\right)^4.

  • Apply the exponentiation rule for fractions: (ab)n=anbn\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^n = \frac{a^n}{b^n}.

  • Calculate 20420^4 and 21421^4 and place them as the numerator and denominator, respectively.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We begin with the expression (2021)4\left(\frac{20}{21}\right)^4.
Step 2: Using the power of a fraction rule, we have (2021)4=204214\left(\frac{20}{21}\right)^4 = \frac{20^4}{21^4}.

Therefore, the corresponding simplified expression is 204214\frac{20^4}{21^4}.
