Which of the following lists of ordered pairs is a function? A. (2,5), (3, 6), (6, 9) B. (-1,2), (2, 3), (3, 1), (2,5) C. (1,2), (4,0), (3,5),(4,3) D. (2,5), (3, 6), (2, 1)​

A. (2,5), (3,6), (6,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to be a function, all inputs (x values) must go to only one output (y value). List A is the only list that obeys this rule. Therefore, List A is a 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)
