Simplify the following:
$3^0 + (-4)^{-1} \times 2^2$.


Given :

The given expression is $3^0 + (-4)^{-1} \times 2^2$.

To do :

We have to simplify the given expression.

Solution :

$3^0 + (-4)^{-1} \times 2^2$

$3^0 + (-4)^{-1} \times 2^2= 1 + \frac{1}{-4} \times 4$         $[a^0 = 1 ; a^{-m} = \frac{1}{a^m}]$

                             $= 1 -1 = 0$.

Therefore, the value of $3^0 + (-4)^{-1} \times 2^2$ is 0.
