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

Vikki [24]

The total bill that would be paid by Jan is equal to $43.125.

Given the following data:

Cost of Jan’s dinner = $18.50.

Cost of brother’s dinner = $19.00.

Tip = 15%

To determine the total bill that would be paid by Jan:

First of all, we would calculate the total cost of their dinner as follows:

$Total\;cost = 18.50 + 19.00$

Total cost = $37.50

Next, we would calculate the tip cost for the total cost of their dinner:

$Tip\;cost = \frac{15}{100} \times 37.5\\\\Tip\;cost =0.15\times 37.5$

Tip cost = $5.625

For the total bill:

$Total\;bill = Total\;cost + Tip\;cost\\\\Total\;bill = 37.5 + 5.625$

Total bill = $43.125.
