1. Evaluate the expression \(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{-4}\).
2. Recall the rule for negative exponents: \(a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}\).
3. Apply the rule:
$$\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{-4} = \frac{1}{\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^4} = \frac{1}{\frac{3^4}{5^4}} = \frac{1}{\frac{81}{625}} = \frac{625}{81}.$$
4. Simplify the fraction if needed. Here, \(\frac{625}{81}\) is already in simplest form.
5. Therefore, the value of \(\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^{-4}\) is \(\frac{625}{81}\).
