Question

Solve for r. r5−6=−1 (1 point) Responses
r = 5
r = 25
r = 35
r = 10

Answer 1

To solve for r in the equation r^5 - 6 = -1, we need to eliminate the constant term -6. We can do this by adding 6 to both sides of the equation:

r^5 - 6 + 6 = -1 + 6

This simplifies to:

r^5 = 5

To isolate r, we can take the fifth root of both sides of the equation:

∛(r^5) = ∛5

This simplifies to:

r = ∛5

So the solution for r is r = ∛5.
