The product of 5 and a number x is 1/4 What is the value of x? x=19/4
x=1/20
x =5/4
x =4 3/4

x=19/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of 5 and a number x is 1/4

an altitude of 15,000 feet

step-by-step explanation:

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)
