4a = 16
a = 16/4

Sagot :

Given:

The statement is " a is the fourth root of 16".

To find:

The true statement for the given statement.

Solution:

The given statement is

a is the fourth root of 16.

Mathematically, it can be written as

[tex]a=\sqrt[4]{16}[/tex]

Taking power 4 on both sides.

[tex]a^4=(\sqrt[4]{16})^4[/tex]

[tex]a\times a\times a\times a=16[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A true statement ,  if a is the fourth root of 16 is

a x a x a x a = 16

Important Information :

  • 'a'  is the fourth root of 16

'a' is the fourth root of 16 can be written as

[tex]a=\sqrt[4]{16}[/tex]

To remove fourth root, we take exponent 4 on both sides

[tex]a=\sqrt[4]{16}\\(a)^4=(\sqrt[4]{16})^4[/tex]

Exponent 4  and fourth root will get cancelled

[tex]a^4=16\\a \cdot a\cdot a \cdot a=16[/tex]

a x a x a x a = 16

A true statement ,  if a is the fourth root of 16 is

a x a x a x a = 16
