X² + 2x-3 f(x) =
x2 + 5x + 6
(a) What is the domain of the function? (Write your answer in interval notation.)
(b) Determine the equation of the vertical asymptotes of f. If there are none, write, 'None!
(C) Determine the equation of the horizontal asymptote of f. If there is none, write, 'None'.
(d) Find the y-intercept(s).
(e) Find the x-intercept(s).

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:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

the domain is the set { -2, 0, 2, 3}

discussion:

the domain is the set of x values in the ordered pairs (x,y). taking the x, or first component, of each ordered pair gives   -2, 0, 2, 3.
