Final answer:

The expression (3-4)1/2 is undefined.


Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the numerical expression (3-4)1/2, we can start by simplifying the operation inside the parentheses: 3-4 = -1. Then, we raise -1 to the power of 1/2, which is equivalent to taking the square root. The square root of -1 is not a real number, so the expression (3-4)1/2 is undefined.
