For this case we have that by definition of power properties:


a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}

We have the following expression:


(- \frac {3} {4}) ^ {- 4}

We can rewrite it as:


(- \frac {3} {4}) ^ {- 4} = \frac {1} {(- \frac {3} {4}) ^ {4}} = \frac {1} {\frac { 3 ^ 4} {4 ^ 4}} =

Applying double c we have:


\frac {4 ^ 4} {3 ^ 4} = \frac {256} {81}

Answer:

Option D
