Answer:
(-1,2.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
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:
x=9
Step-by-step explanation:
7x-11 = 4x-2
7x-4x=11-2
3x=9
x=9
If you add the 3/4s with the 2 1/4 hour breaks it would be 1 hour and 1 fourth.
Then you take 10-1/2 hours and subtract it by 1 hour and 1 fourth.
So you would get 9-1/4 hours
