2 maybe it really depends on how big the cats are and what kind they are
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, -1)
Step-by-step explanation: You have to rewrite in vertex form and use the form to find the vertex
Here's the info for f(x): We are going to find the slope of the line and then write the equation for the line using one of the given points. The coordinate points we are given are (0, 0) and (2, 4). Using the slope formula:

gives us a slope equation of:

and the slope is 2. Using the point (0, 0) to write the equation of the line for f(x) looks like this in the slope-intercept form of the equation:

where m is the sloppe of 2 that we found and

and

are the coordinates of one of the points. It doesn't matter which one you choose; you will get the same answer whether you use (0, 0) or (2, 4): y-0=2(x-0) Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis and simplifying gives you the equation of y = 2x, or in our function notation, f(x) = 2x. Since f(x) is the first part of g(x), so far for g(x) we have that g(x) = 2x + k. Now we will do the same thing for g(x) that we did for f(x) as far as writing its equation down; we don't need to find the slope cuz the slope of g(x) is the function f(x). The equation for g(x), using the point (0, 2) (again, you could have used either point; I just picked (0, 2) cuz the other one has a decimal in it!): y - 2 = 2(x - 0). Distributing that 2 into the parenthesis gives you this: y - 2 = 2x - 0; y = 2x + 2. So 2 is your k value!
