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
Given:
Side length of square = 2 in
To find:
The area of the square
Solution:
Area of the square:
Area = side × side
= 2 in × 2 in
Area = 4 in²
Therefore, the area of the square is 4 inches².
Answer: The required probability is 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Number of people came into Brad's store = 48
Number of them made a purchase = 40
So, the experimental probability that the next person to come into the store will make a purchase would be

Hence, the required probability is 
I have no clue how to solve this myself but i would recommend using photomath for tricky equations because it gives you a step by step tutorial for the problem
Answer: the numbers were negative so he needed to add the positive numbers to that equation (I think sorry if I’m wrong)
