Question

What is the solution to the equation 3 + ⁴√4y = 4?
a. y = 1/16
b. 1/4
c. 1
d. 4

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(3 + \sqrt[4]{4y} = 4\), you can start by isolating the term involving \(y\):

\[ \sqrt[4]{4y} = 1 \]

Now, raise both sides to the power of 4 to get rid of the fourth root:

\[ 4y = 1 \]

Next, solve for \(y\):

\[ y = \frac{1}{4} \]

So, the solution is:

b. \( y = \frac{1}{4} \)
