Ithink the answer is 12 am i correct?
the two-way table shows poll results for preferred flavor of ice cream, vanilla or chocolate, and preferred topping, sprinkles or nuts.
of the people polled, how many chose vanilla ice cream?
enter your answer in the box.

11

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 9 people who chose vanilla ice cream with sprinkles and 2 people who chose vanilla ice cream with nuts.

This makes 9+2 = 11 people.

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)
