17% would be equal to 17/100. 4/25 is equivalent to 16/100. Therefore, 17% is larger.
I’d go with D, you do 350 and multiply it by 0.0425 and do the same with 450 and multiply by 0.0425 and you multiply each of those answers and then add them to 800
The answer would be the top one and the 3rd one
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
a square number has and odd amount of numbers but 5to the power of 9 has an even amount of numbers
5×5×5×5×5×5×5×5×5
