Apply the property of negative integer exponents to solve three negative power of four. The answer should not contain any exponents expression or decimals.

1 answer

The expression "three negative power of four" can be interpreted as \( 4^{-3} \).

To solve this using the property of negative integer exponents, we can use the formula:

\[ a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} \]

Applying this to our expression:

\[ 4^{-3} = \frac{1}{4^3} \]

Now, calculate \( 4^3 \):

\[ 4^3 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 16 \times 4 = 64 \]

Substituting back, we have:

\[ 4^{-3} = \frac{1}{64} \]

Therefore, the answer is:

\[ \frac{1}{64} \]
