O
B
linear function with negative rate of change.
non-linear function that decreases then increases
D
non-linear function that increases then decreases

D

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to ponder a guess that the numbers shown, 0, 62, 1, 78, 2 ,etc. are part of a table. Having said that, the answers, when graphed, create a sort of parabola, meaning that the function itself is non-linear. This exterminates option A and B. Now its just a matter of seeing which way it goes, and since 78 is higher than 62, and 85 is higher than 78, it obviously increases, rather than decreases. This makes D our final answer.

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)
