Rules for exponents allow you to convert a "negative" power to a positive power by simply moving either:
from the "numerator to the denominator"
or
from the "denominator to the numerator"
.
For example:
if you have:
x^(-3) this is equal to 1/x^3
if you have:
1/x^(-3) this is equal to x^3
.
Your problem:
3 to the negative 4 power
is written as:
3^(-4)
is the same as:
1/3^4
.
1/3^4 = 1/81
or in decimal
0.123456...
