Solve for x by finding the missing side of the triangle. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent θ = Opposite / Adjacent

tan(29) = 20/x

Cross multiply.

x = 20 / (tan(29))

x = 22.544284

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)

step-by-step explanation:

shift 4 units up, and 1 unit left.

it will translate f(x) = 3^x to g(x) = 3^(x+1) + 4
