Question

What is the value of the expression
3^−4?

Answer 1

`3^(-4)= \cfrac{1}{3^4} =\cfrac{1}{81}`

Answer 2

Answer is
`(1)/(81)`

Explanation:

Here we can apply the property of exponents with negative exponents

in order to make exponent positive we can take the term in denominator which makes the expression
`(1)/(3^4)` and
`3^4 means` 81

therefore answer is
`(1)/(81)`
