$- 4^{0} b^{- 4}$

Step 1

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$- 1 \cdot 1 b^{- 4}$

Step 2

Multiply $- 1$ by $1$ .

$- 1 b^{- 4}$

Step 3

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$- 1 \frac{1}{b^{4}}$

Step 4

Rewrite $- 1 \frac{1}{b^{4}}$ as $- \frac{1}{b^{4}}$ .

$- \frac{1}{b^{4}}$
