Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to solve 3−4. The answer should not contain any exponent expression or decimals.(1 point)
3−4 =?
Using the property of negative integer exponents, we have:
3^(-4) = 1/(3^4)
To simplify further, we have:
3^(-4) = 1/(3^2 * 3^2)
= 1/(9 * 9)
= 1/81
Therefore, 3^(-4) = 1/81.
To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite 3^(-4) as 1/(3^4).
Next, we can calculate 3^4, which is equal to 81.
Finally, we substitute the value back into the equation:
3^(-4) = 1/81.
