To find the product of (4x-5y)^2,
we can rewrite the problem as:
(4x-5y)(4x-5y) (two times because it is squared)
Now, time to use that old method we learned in middle school:
FOIL. (Firsts, Outers, Inners, and Lasts)
FOIL can help us greatly in this scenario.
Let's start by multiplying the 'Firsts' together:
4x * 4x = <em>16x^2</em>
Now, lets to the 'Outers':
4x * -5y = <em>-20xy</em>
Next, we can multiply the 'Inners':
-5y * 4x = <em>-20xy</em>
Finally, let's do the 'Lasts':
-5y * -5y = <em>25y</em>^2
Now, we can take the products of these equations from FOIL and combine like terms. We have: 16x^2, -20xy, -20xy, and 25y^2.
-20xy and -20xy make -40xy.
The final equation (product of (4x-5y)^2) is:
16x^2 - 40xy + 25y^2
Hope I helped! If any of my math is wrong, please report and let me know!
Have a good one.
372 is the answer.
(9*6*3)+(10*7*3)=372
The way I figured this one out was saying that if it takes 2lbs to stretch it to 12 inches and 5lbs to stretch to 18 inches that means that 3 additional pounds = 6 inches. Therefore, each additional pound is 2 inches. We know already that with 2 lbs it was 12 inches in length and we can also say that 2 lbs = 4 inches. So subtract 4 from 12 and you end up with the answer of 8 inches.
