Answer:
B=\{3^x:x\in N, x\leq4\}

Explanation:

Given set:
B=\{3,9,27,81\} which is in a rooster form.

A set-builder form is a mathematical form to representing a set by stating the properties that its elements must satisfy.

In the given set each element is a multiple of 3.


3=3^1\\9=3^2\\27=3^3\\81=3^4

So,
B=\{3^1, 3^2, 3^3, 3^4\} ,where 1,2,3,4 are natural numbers

The set-builder notation would be :


B=\{3^x:x\in N, x\leq4\}, where N is the set of natural numbers.
