Jane is surveying sales at drugstores in greendale. she visits the drugstores in the neighborhood to collect their sales data. jane starts from
her office at cand walks to the drugstores at d, e, f, g, and h, in that order, before returning to her office. what is the total length of her
route?

36 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We will total the boxes

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)
