I tried this:

Explanation:

I would try by taking the log in base #7# of both sides:
#log_7(2401)^(1/4)=log_7(7)#
using a property of logs (exponent of the argument) and the definition of log we get:
#1/4log_7(2401)=1#
#log_7(2401)=1*4#
#log_7(2401)=4#

and so, using the definition of log we have that indeed:
#2401=7^4#
