Answer: Should be rational
hope this helps.
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:
it might be 3 one according to me
2 consecutive integers with the product of 702 are 27 • 26, or since the question doesn’t specify whether it should be positive or negative, it could also be (-27) • (-26)
