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
