document.write( "Question 152886: Ok this is my problem. Since I don't have a \"radical\" key on my computer, I'm going to type it the way it would be said. Its 81x to the 4th, y to the 20th, all under a radical, raised to the 4th power. Help would be greatly appreciated ...I can't remember how to do these kinds of problems at all. thank you, sarah. \n" ); document.write( "

\"root%284%2C81x%5E4y%5E%2820%29%29\" Start with the given expression.\r
