If a4 = 625, what does (a) equal?

Mathematics

Reika [66]3 years ago

I'm assuming you meant to write a^4 = 625.

If that is the case, then note how 625 = 25^2, and how a^4 is the same as (a^2)^2

So we go from this

a^4 = 625

to this

(a^2)^2 = 25^2

Apply the square root to both sides and you'll end up with: a^2 = 25

From here, apply the square root again to end up with the final answer: a = 5 or a = -5

As a check:

a^4 = (-5)^4 = (-5)*(-5)*(-5)*(-5) = 25*25 = 625

a^4 = (5)^4 = (5)*(5)*(5)*(5) = 25*25 = 625

Both values of 'a' work out

Answer:

  4. 11/6, 121/36

  5. 5/8, 25/64

  6. 4/7, 16/49

  7. 14/9, 196/81

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of perimeters is the same as the ratio of corresponding legs:

  perimeter ratio = red leg/blue leg

The area ratio is the square of that:

  area ratio = (perimeter ratio)²

__

<h3>4.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 11/6

area ratio = (11/6)² = 121/36

__

<h3>5.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 5/8

area ratio = (5/8)² = 25/64

__

<h3>6.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 4/7

area ratio = (4/7)² = 16/49

__

<h3>7.</h3>

perimeter ratio = 14/9

area ratio = (14/9)² = 196/81
