A pair of tow trucks are pulling on a trailer that is stuck in mud. The first truck pulls with a force of 10,000 pounds at a 110° angle from the second truck, which is pulling with a force of 7,500 pounds. What is the magnitude of the resultant force? 9,821 pounds
10,244 pounds
14,405 pounds
24,226 pounds

B or 10,244 pounds

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)
