14. Abdi has two electric train sets: A and B. Each train is on its own circular track. He starts both trains at the same time. Train A returns to its starting point every 12 seconds. Train B returns to its starting
point every 9 seconds. If the trains continue traveling, what is the least amount of time, in seconds,
that both trains will arrive at the starting points at the same time?
Show your work.

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)
