Abird launches into flight from a point on the ground. the bird can fly 8 feet per second horizontally and 6 feet per second vertically. after 10 seconds, how far has the bird flown relative to its initial spot on the ground?

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a bird launches into flight from a point on the ground. The bird can fly 8 feet per second horizontally and 6 feet per second vertically.

Net speed would be using Pythagorean theorem =

After 10 seconds, it would be 10(10) = 100 feet from its initial spot on the ground.

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)
