There are two solutions. The other tutor did not get both solutions. I'll go into a little more detail.Raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal of power, which is the power: Remove the parentheses on the left by multiplying the exponents which just gives the exponent 1. On the right we use the rule: But since the root we are taking is even, the fourth root, there are two fourth roots, positive and negative, so we must precede it by ±: So there are two solutions, and Edwin
Another way to get both solutions is this:Raise both sides to the 5th power Multiply exponents Use the principle of even roots (fourth root): That way you get both solutions. Edwin
