The two-way table shows the number of students in a school who bring their lunch and/or who ride the bus: Bring Lunch Do Not Bring Lunch Total
Ride Bus 40 35 75
Do Not Ride Bus 55 2 57
Total 95 37 132
How many more bring lunch than ride the bus? (4 points)

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)
