Solve 4868 = y^48

Evaluate

4868 = y^{4} \times 8

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

4868 = 8 y^{4}

Swap the sides of the equation

8 y^{4} = 4868

Divide both sides

\frac{8 y ^{4}}{8} = \frac{4868}{8}

Divide the numbers

y^{4} = \frac{4868}{8}

Cancel out the common factor 4

y^{4} = \frac{1217}{2}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

y = \pm 4 \frac{1217}{2}

y = \pm \frac{4 9736}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

y = \frac{4 9736}{2} y = - \frac{4 9736}{2}

Solution

y_{1} = - \frac{4 9736}{2}, y_{2} = \frac{4 9736}{2}

Alternative Form

y_{1} \approx - 4.966668, y_{2} \approx 4.966668
