A water tank that holds 500 gallons and leaks gallon of water every hour. Past A: What is the rate of change for the function that models the number of
gallons in the tank for a given number of hours?
Part B: Write an equation that represents this function.

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)

step-by-step explanation:

5   1/4   miles per hour

step-by-step explanation:

15   3/4 / 3 = 5   1/4
