Answer:

D. -1/64

Step-by-step explanation:

F(x) = (1/4)^-3

This is 1/4 to the power of -3

= -(1/4)*(-1/4)*(-1/4)

= -(1*1*1)/(4*4*4)

= -1/64

Another way to calculate this is (-1/4)*(-1/4)*(-1/4). This is the same as (-1/4)³

When solved out the solution = -1/64

Therefore the correct answer to this question is the last option, which is d.

Thank you.
