Answer

$x$ = $±\frac{5}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Given equation is- $16x^{4}$ = $625$ i.e. $16x^{4}-625$ = $0$ Algebraic Solution: $16x^{4}$ = $625$ i.e. $x^{4}$ = $\frac{625}{16}$= $(±\frac{5}{2})^{4}$ i.e. $x$ = $±\frac{5}{2}$ Graphical Solution: $16x^{4}-625$ = $0$ Now graphing $y$ = $16x^{4}-625$ We get $x-intercept$ as $+\frac{5}{2}$ and $-\frac{5}{2}$ i.e. $x$ = $±\frac{5}{2}$
