Toms total payment for his loan was $10,368. What was his monthly payment if he paid it off after making 36 monthly payments? $204
$216
$228
$288

Explanation:

Divide the given dollar amount over the 36 months mentioned.

(10368)/(36) = 288 dollars is the monthly payment

36 months = 3 years

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)
