Can someone help me figure out what are the two checkpoints?

13,000 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

X 10960CDY

The entire race (from X to Y) is 7 miles.  There are 5,280 ft. in one mile, so 7 miles is 36960 ft.

If we subtract 10,960 from 36,960, then we get the distance from C to Y.

36960-10960 = 26000

They tell you D is at the midpoint between C and Y

So if we divide 26,000 by 2, then we know the distance from C to D and from D to Y.

26000/2 = 13000

The checkpoints are C and D, so the distance between them is 13,000 ft.

since your problem is x^4 = 81, what you have to undeo is the "to the fourth power" part.

the inverse (opposite operation) of "to the fourth power" is "to the fourth root".

  (x^4) ^ ¼   = 81 ^ ¼  

  81 = 3^4     so (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ 1   = 3

by hand: (3 ^ 4) ^ ¼   =   3 ^ (4 x ¼) = 3 ^ 1   = 3   (when you take a power to a power, multiply the exponents.)

or, do it by calculator. one way of finding the fourth root is to use ^ (1/4)
