Whether the given ordered pair is solution of the given equation.

Expert Solution

Answer

Solution:

Yes, the ordered pair (12, 910) is the solution of the equation 5y4=x.

Explanation of Solution

1) Concept:

Any ordered pair is said to be the solution for the given equation only if it satisfies the equation on by substitution.

2) Calculation:

Given,

Ordered Pair:(12, 910)

Equation: 5y4=x

For the ordered pair (12, 910) we have x=12 and y=910, which on substitution in the given equation, we have

5y4=x

5(910)4=12

924=12

982=12

12=12 which is true.

Hence, the ordered pair (12, 910) is the solution of the given equation 5y4=x.

Final statement:

Therefore, (12, 910) is the solution of the equation 5y4=x.
