Solve x^4-y=16

$$x ^ { 4 } - y = 16$$

Solve for y

$$y=x^{4}-16$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract x^{4} from both sides.

$$-y=16-x^{4}$$

Divide both sides by -1.

$$\frac{-y}{-1}=\frac{16-x^{4}}{-1}$$

Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.

$$y=\frac{16-x^{4}}{-1}$$

Divide -x^{4}+16 by -1.

$$y=x^{4}-16$$

Solve for x (complex solution)

$$x=i\sqrt[4]{y+16}$$

$$x=\sqrt[4]{y+16}$$

$$x=-\sqrt[4]{y+16}$$

$$x=-i\sqrt[4]{y+16}$$

Solve for x

$$x=\sqrt[4]{y+16}$$

$$x=-\sqrt[4]{y+16}\text{, }y\geq -16$$
