\[\sqrt[4]{81^3}\] is the only way I can see it
OpenStudy (smurfy14):
whts that mean?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
81^(3/4) = y
3/4 ln(81) = y .... cant see it that way
it means you cube 81 and see what it 4roots into
OpenStudy (smurfy14):
ok well how do you solve??
OpenStudy (amistre64):
there is prolly an elegant algorithm for it; but i just have to brute math it:
4rt(81^3)
4rt(531441) = n
531441 = n^4

then i trial and error it till I reach 27
OpenStudy (anonymous):
81^3/4 = 3^(4*3/4) = 3^3 = 27
OpenStudy (anonymous):
notice that 81 = 9*9 and 9 = 3*3
so 81 = 3*3*3*3 = 3^4
OpenStudy (smurfy14):
how did you get the (4*3/4) part?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
Y=f'(x)(x-xo)+f(xo) perhaps?

\[81^{3/4} = (3^{4})^{3/4} = 3^{4*3/4} = 3^{3} =27\]
OpenStudy (smurfy14):
amistre your making it too complicating for me lol
OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (mathteacher1729):
\[81= 3*3*3*3 \]
So we're looking for \[ ((81)^{1/4})^3\]
Notice that
\[ ((3)^4)^{1/4} = 3\]
and
\[3^3 = 27\]
