Apply the property of negative integer exponents to solve 3^-4 the answer should not contain any exponent expression or decimals
To apply the property of negative integer exponents $a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$, we can rewrite the expression $3^{-4}$ as $\frac{1}{3^4}$.
Therefore, the answer is $\frac{1}{81}$.
Can you rewrite that in a simpler way....?
Certainly! The simplified form of $3^{-4}$ without any exponents or decimals is $\frac{1}{81}$.

PLEASE MAKE IT EASY FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND
Certainly! To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite $3^{-4}$ as the reciprocal of $3^4$.
The reciprocal of a number is found by flipping it, so:
$3^{-4} = \frac{1}{3^4}$
Now, evaluating $3^4$, we get:
$3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81$
Therefore, the simplified form of $3^{-4}$ without any exponents or decimals is $\frac{1}{81}$.
That is wrong
I apologize for the confusion. Let's clarify.
To apply the property of negative exponents, we can rewrite $3^{-4}$ as $\frac{1}{3^4}$.
Evaluating $3^4$, we have:
$3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81$
Therefore, the correct simplified form of $3^{-4}$ without any exponents or decimals is $\frac{1}{81}$.
