Elina [12.6K]4 years ago
5 0

\dfrac{a+1}{a}=5\\\\\dfrac{a}{a}+\dfrac{1}{a}=5\\\\1+\dfrac{1}{a}=5\qquad\text{subtract 1 from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{1}{a}=4\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{a}\right)^4=4^4\\\\\dfrac{1}{a^4}=256\qquad(*)\\-----------------------\\\\\dfrac{a^4+1}{a^4}=\dfrac{a^4}{a^4}+\dfrac{1}{a^4}=1+\underbrace{\dfrac{1}{a^4}}_{(*)}=1+256=257

2√m^2 if m is greater than or equal to 0
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

\displaystyle  \boxed{|2m| }

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given that

\displaystyle 2 \sqrt{  {m}^{2} }

since m is greater than or equal to 0 it's a positive number therefore, the square root of m is defined and recall that √x²=|x| thus

\displaystyle  \boxed{2 |m|}

remember that,|a|•|x|=|ax| hence,

\displaystyle  \boxed{ |2m|}

and we're done!
