Apply the distributive property

1/4(16a+8b+c)

4a + 2b + 1/4 c.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4(16a+8b+c)

= 1/4 * 16a + 1/4 * 8b + 1/4 * c

= 4a + 2b + 1/4 c.

3: 2

step-by-step explanation:

shorter piece is 2: 3, so just reverse it, and you get 3: 2

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)
