Answer:

The value of given expression is 1.

Explanation:

The given expression is


(-14^0)^(-2)

If a is a real number, then
a^0=1.


(-1)^(-2)
[\because a^0=1]

Using exponent property we get,


(-1)^(-2)=(1)/((-1)^2)
[\because a^(-n)=(1)/(a^n)]


(-1)^(-2)=(1)/(1)


(-1)^(-2)=1

Therefore the value of given expression is 1.
