Four milliliters of ink a is added to 10 milliliters of ink b, forming a mixture of inks. ink a contains 10% blue pigment. ink b contains an unknown percentage of blue pigment. the mixture of the two inks contains 35% blue pigment.

a) 45%
b) 49%
c) 60%
d) 75%

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)
