Evaluate the expression if a = 2. 5a^4 (4 goes above 5a) A. 30 B. 40 C. 60 D. 80 @Mertsj

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

\[(5a)^4\] ? is that the question?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

replace a with 2. Raise 2 to the 4th power. Multiply that answer by 5

Yes Usaki Doll

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

then if a = 2... 5(2) = 10 and then that is 10^4 which is a very big number and not a choice on here.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then, multiply 5 by2 and raise 10 to the 4th power. But that is not one of your answer choices so that is obviously not what the problem is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To be honest Im kind of confused.....

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

mayeb e \[5(a)^4 \] ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well that is the problem that was posted.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^4=16 5(16)=80

OpenStudy (usukidoll):

makes sense .. 2^4 =16 and then 5(16) =80

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
