Question

^4√16M^8

Answer 1

\[\LARGE \sqrt[4]{16M^8}\]

Is that what you're looking at?

Answer 2

@geoffb yes

Answer 3

It might be easier if you think of it like:

\(\LARGE \sqrt[4]{16 \times M^8}\)

or

\(\LARGE \sqrt[4]{16} \times \sqrt[4]{M^8}\)

Answer 4

@geoffb how do i solve it?

Answer 5

It can't be solved. There's no equal sign, so you can't say that M "equals" anything. All you can do is reduce it. For example, what is the fourth root of 16?

Answer 6

\[16=2^4\]
\[M^8=(M^2)^4\]
