As you can see, he uses one square for Stage 1, three squares for Stage 2 and six for Stage 3. How many squares should he use for the sixth stage?

21 squares

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = 1

2 = 3

3 = 6

The pattern follows squares use in the previous stage + new stage = squares use the new stage

Squares used in stage 2 = Squares used in stage 1 + stage 2

= 1 + 2

= 3 squares

Squares used in stage 3 = Squares used in stage 2 + stage 3

= 3 + 3

= 6 squares

Squares used in stage 4 = Squares used in stage 3 + stage 4

= 6 + 4

= 10 squares

Squares used in stage 5 = Squares used in stage 4 + stage 5

= 10 + 5

= 15 squares

Squares used in stage 6 = Squares used in stage 5 + stage 6

= 15 + 6

= 21 squares

4 = 10

5 = 15

6 = 21

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)
