Using the distributive property to find the product (y−4x)(y2 4y 16) results in a polynomial of the form y3 4y2 ay−4xy2−axy−64x.
1 answer:
The product (y−4x)(y^2 + 4y + 16) results in a polynomial of the form y3 4y2 ay−4xy2−axy−64x then the value of a is 16.
<h3>What is distributive property?</h3>The distributive property states that an expression of the form A(B + C) can be solved by a multiplication over addition operation that is
A(B + C) = AB + AC
This property is known by distributive law and applies to subtraction also.
First let w = y-4x make distribution a bit easier
(y−4x)(y^2 + 4y + 16)
now put the values of w in the equation
Here the value of a is 16.

Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the extremities of diameter,then eq. of circle is
(x-x1)(x-x2)+(y-y1)(y-y2)=0
reqd. eq. is (x+1)(x-5)+(y+9)(y-1)=0
center is (2,-4)
r=√(2²+(-4)²-(-14))
=√(4+16+14)
=√(34)
eq. of circle is (x-2)²+(y+4)²=34
or
(x²-4x)+(y²+8y)=14
(x²-4x+4)+(y²+8y+16)=14+4+16
(x-2)²+(y+4)²=34
