Answer:

The equality is only true for a = 0\ and\ 1, not for all values

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(\sqrt a)^4 = a

Required

Determine if it is valid

(\sqrt a)^4 = a

Evaluate the exponent

(a^\frac{1}{2})^4 = a

a^\frac{1*4}{2} = a

a^2 = a

Rewrite as:

a^2 - a = 0

Factorize

a(a- 1) = 0

a =0\ or\ a - 1 = 0

a =0\ or\ a = 1

<em>The equality is only true for </em>a = 0\ and\ 1<em>, not for all values</em>

I don't really understand your question , can you rephrase it ?

Do you mean ?5x7 = 455 ?
because then it would be :
455 divided by 7 which equals 65  :)

Matt and Cat win £120 on the lottery and decide to share the winning ratio 1:2
8_murik_8 [283]
The way to work out how much each person gets is to find out how much one part is worth.

We can do this by adding the ratio (1:2) which gives us 3.

Divide £120 by 3 parts and you get £40 as one part. 

Because the ratio is one part : two parts, Matt gets £40 and Cat gets £80.
