To solve the inequality \( x^7 + 13 > 20 \), we first isolate \( x^7 \):
\[ x^7 + 13 > 20 \]
Subtract 13 from both sides:
\[ x^7 > 7 \]
Next, we take the seventh root of both sides. Remember that since we are dealing with an odd root, the direction of the inequality does not change:
\[ x > 7^{1/7} \]
Calculating \( 7^{1/7} \) is approximately \( 1.47577 \).
Considering the provided options, the correct answer that is consistent with \( x > 7^{1/7} \) would be:
- \( x > 1 \)
Thus, the solution to the inequality \( x^7 + 13 > 20 \) is:
Response: x > 1.
