solve Equation

Question

Solve equation

 

x^1/4 = 5

 

x = 

Answer 1

x^(1/4) = 5

Raising both sides to the 4th power you get 
[x^(1/4)]^4 = 5^4 = 625. 

Answer 2

Keith,

      All you have to do is raise both sides to the 4th power i.e.( x^1/4)⁴ = 5⁴ . Recalling that (1/4)x4 = 1 then

x=5⁴ = 625.
