Why is $f(x)$ undefined for negative $x$ on Maple and my calculator but defined on WolframAlpha?

$f(x):=x^{4/5}\cdot (x-4)^2$

Maple gives me the graph:

WolframAlpha gives this graph

and my calculator gives Error 2 if I plug in $(-1)^{4/5}$.

My original intuition would be to think that the graph would be defined for negative $x$, but clearly something else is going on, what is going on in this case?
