Question

Determine whether the statement is true or false.

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

1/3^4=3^4

0.012346≠81

False

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

The negative power property of exponents says that:

`x^(-n)=(1)/(x^n)`

And vice versa:

`(1)/(x^(-n))=x^n`

Therefore, since our exponent is negative, we can change it to positive if we put it in the numerator. In other words:

`(1)/(3^(-4))=3^4`

The statement is true.
