Answer 1

`\large\boxed{-(1)/(81) }`

Explanation:

Hi!

To answer this question, we'll need to recall the properties of exponents:

`\longmapsto\bold{x^(-m)=\displaystyle(1)/(x^m)}`

According to the property, we should take the number x and flip it over.

Now let's solve:

`\longmapsto\bold{-3^(-4)}`

Flip it over:

`\longmapsto\bold{\displaystyle(1)/(-3^4)}`

Simplify:

`\longmapsto\bold{-\displaystyle(1)/(81)}`

Have a nice day! :)
