Using the Property of Negative Integer Exponents, we know that a negative exponent can be rewritten as the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent.
Therefore, 3^−4 can be rewritten as 1/3^4.
To find 1/3^4, we can first find 3^4.
3^4 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 81.
Therefore, 3^−4 = 1/3^4 = 1/81.
So, the answer is 1/81.
