Solve for x y=x^4

$y = x^{4}$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $x^{4} = y$ .

$x^{4} = y$

Step 2

Take the 4th root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x = \pm \sqrt[4]{y}$

Step 3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$x = \sqrt[4]{y}$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$x = - \sqrt[4]{y}$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$x = \sqrt[4]{y}$

$x = - \sqrt[4]{y}$

$x = \sqrt[4]{y}$

$x = - \sqrt[4]{y}$
