combinations of ingredients could the chef put into the soup?
A. 20
B.256
C. 1,024

A: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

4+4+4+4+4= 20

A chef will make a soup with five ingredients: one of four meats, one of four vegetables, one of

four kinds of noodles, one of four kinds of broth, and one of four spices. How many different

combinations of ingredients could the chef put into the soup?

B. 256

C. 1,024

D. 3,125

Step-by-step explanation:

4 kinds of meats

4 kinds of vegetables

4 kinds of noodles

4 kinds of broth

4 kinds of spices

In a total of: 20 different combinations of ingredients.

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)
