Which terms must be removed from 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12 if the sum of the remaining terms is to equal 1?

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5+0.25+0.17+0.13+0.1+0.1=1.25

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)
