Apply the Property of Negative Integer Exponents to solve 3−4.

Answer 1

The Property of Negative Integer Exponents states that:

For any non-zero real number x, and any positive integer n,

x^(-n) = 1 / (x^n)

Using this property, we can solve 3^(-4) as follows:

3^(-4) = 1 / (3^4)

3^4 is equal to 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81, so:

3^(-4) = 1 / 81

Therefore, 3^(-4) is equal to 1/81.
