A 20,000 gallon swimming pool contains 5000 gallons of water when a hose is placed in the pool and begins adding water at a rate of 1250 gallons per hour. Use the Segment tool to plot a graph representing the volume of water in the pool over time from when the hose is placed in the pool until the pool is full.

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)
