Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to solve 3^−4. The answer should not contain any exponent expression or decimals.
The Property of Negative Integer Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of a negative integer is equal to the reciprocal of the number raised to the positive exponent.
Applying this property to 3^−4, we can rewrite it as 1/(3^4).
Therefore, the answer to 3^−4 is 1/(3^4).
are you sure?
I apologize for the confusion caused in my previous response. Let me correct myself.
The Property of Negative Integer Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of a negative integer is equal to the reciprocal of the number raised to the absolute value of the exponent.
Applying this property to 3^−4, we can rewrite it as 1/(3^4).
Therefore, the answer to 3^−4 is 1/(3^4).
To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we can rewrite the expression 3^−4 as the reciprocal of 3^4.
First, let's find 3^4.
3^4 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81
Now, take the reciprocal of 81:
1/81
Therefore, 3^−4 is equal to 1/81.
