1. simplify the expression.

-3x^{-4}y^{0}
type a response

Explanation:

Step1: Apply zero exponent rule

Any non-zero term to the power of 0 is 1, so $y^0 = 1$.
Expression: $-3x^{-4} \times 1 = -3x^{-4}$

Step2: Apply negative exponent rule

A term with negative exponent $\frac{1}{x^n}$ for $x^{-n}$.
Expression: $-3 \times \frac{1}{x^4} = \frac{-3}{x^4}$

Answer:

$\frac{-3}{x^4}$
