Item 7 The ratio of the weight of an object on Jupiter to its weight on Earth is 8:5, meaning that an object that weighs 8 pounds on Jupiter weighs only 5 pounds on Earth. In the first box provided, write an equation that represents the relationship between the weight on Jupiter j and the weight on Earth e and on the second line, write its reciprocal.

8,5 recirpoal is 5,8

Step-by-step explanation:

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)
