Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If x^4 = 81, what is the value of x?
  • Step 1: Start with the equation x^4 = 81.
  • Step 2: To find x, we need to take the fourth root of both sides of the equation.
  • Step 3: The fourth root of x^4 is x, and the fourth root of 81 is written as 81^(1/4).
  • Step 4: Now we need to calculate 81^(1/4).
  • Step 5: We know that 81 is equal to 3^4, so we can rewrite it as (3^4)^(1/4).
  • Step 6: When we raise a power to a power, we multiply the exponents: 3^(4 * (1/4)) = 3^1.
  • Step 7: Therefore, x = 3.
