A ladder is leaning against a wall. Paul has measured and determined that the distance along the ground from the base of the ladder to the wall is eight inches less than the distance along the wall from the ground to the top of the ladder. of the following functions describes the length of the ladder in terms of , the distante along the from the ground to the top of the ladder?

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)
