add and subtract like you normally do
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So is that a3+a4=a7 and a3-a4=a-1 then?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-a1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for second one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
My teacher said the first one you cannot add and the second you cannot subtract that's why I was so lost

What exactly is the question?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To find the answer to both
OpenStudy (anonymous):
All they said was a3+a4?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yep so I thought I was wrong to add them both to get a7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
like 3a+4a?

No a to the power of 3 add to a to the power of 4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oooh you mean
\[a^3+a^4?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[a^3(a+1)\]
\[a = -1, 0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is this what you wanted? The roots?

You can't add them normally because the exponents are different.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wats roots
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a = -1, and 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
That is your answer for the first one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[a^3-a^4 => (1-a)a^3\]
\[a = 1, 0\]
