How do you find the slope perpendicular to y=6x+5?

to find the perpendicular equation to another line, you need to find the inverse. (Basically, switch the x and y around and solve for y)

f(x)=6x+5

y=6x+5

x=6y+5

x-5=6y

y=(x-5)/6

f⁻¹(x)=(1/6)x-(5/6) the bolded number is the new, perpendicular slope! ^^

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal

so the slope, 6, will become -1/6

If a4 = 625, what does (a) equal?
Reika [66]

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
