To solve 3^(-4), we can use the property of negative integer exponents which states that a base raised to a negative exponent is equal to the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
Therefore, 3^(-4) is equal to 1 / (3^4).
Simplifying further, 3^4 is equal to 3 * 3 * 3 * 3, which is 81.
Therefore, 3^(-4) is equal to 1 / 81.
The answer is 1/81.
Therefore, 3^(-4) is equal to 1 / (3^4).
Simplifying further, 3^4 is equal to 3 * 3 * 3 * 3, which is 81.
Therefore, 3^(-4) is equal to 1 / 81.
The answer is 1/81.
