Wolfram Alpha has the value. How to calculate it? Convert to exponential form. – Toby Mak Aug 02 '19 at 11:26

Using Intuition behind euler's formula
$$\dfrac1{2^{2+4i}}=\dfrac{16^{-i}}{2^2}=\dfrac{(e^{\ln16})^{-i}}4 $$
$$(e^{\ln16})^{-i}=e^{-i\ln16}=\cos(-\ln16)+i\sin(-\ln16)$$
$\cos(-A)=+\cos A,\sin(-A)=-\sin A$
Now $\ln16=\ln(2^4)=4\ln2$
