In a video game, two golfers tee off at hole 6, which has the coordinates (–32, –27). golfer a’s ball lands at (–43, –18). golfer b’s ball lands at (–44, –16). which golfer hit the longer shot?

a.
golfer a
b.
golfer b
c.
neither, they traveled the same distance
d.
not enough information to determine

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)
