Question

(x - 68)^{2/5} = 81

Answer 1

One of the answers is 59117.

Answer 2

But there's apparently a second one, which neither I nor anyone else have been able to find.

Answer 3

only 2 answers ?

Answer 4

Oh...well, there may very well be more...it's just the prospect of two is overwhelming enough lol

Answer 5

when u take square root, there will be + or -

Answer 6

Well right, but that's not it. I've already entered -59117 several times, and it's wrong.

Answer 7

no!
-59049+68=?

Answer 8

Besides, you don't really deal with squares at any point in this problem, other than when you reduce 81 to (9^2)
