The real numbers $x$ and $y$ are such that \begin{align*} x + y &= 4, \\ x^2 + y^2 &= 22, \\ x^4 &= y^4 - 176 \sqrt{

7}. \end{align*}Compute $x - y.$

Answer:

-2sqrt(7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

From the third equation, $x^4 - y^4 = -176 \sqrt{7}.$

By difference of squares, we can write

\[x^4 - y^4 = (x^2 + y^2)(x^2 - y^2) = (x^2 + y^2)(x + y)(x - y).\]Then $-176 \sqrt{7} = (22)(4)(x - y),$ so $x - y = \boxed{-2 \sqrt{7}}.$

You get everything you need from factoring the last expression:

x^4-y^4=-176\sqrt7

The left side is a difference of squares, and we get another difference of squares upon factoring. We end up with

x^4-y^4=(x^2-y^2)(x^2+y^2)=(x-y)(x+y)(x^2+y^2)

Plug in everything you know and solve for x-y:

-176\sqrt7=(x-y)\cdot4\cdot22\implies x-y=\boxed{-2\sqrt7}

Answer:

150.72

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, use the provided formula and the values r = 2 and h = 10. The radius of the object is 2 since it is half the distance across the circle which measures 4 inches across through the center.

SA = 2πr² + 2πrh

SA = 2π2² + 2π(2)(10)

SA = 2π*4 + 2π(20)

SA = 8π + 40π

SA = 48π

SA = 48(3.14)

SA = 150.72

Count the possible combinations of r letters chosen from the given list P.Q,R,S,T,U; r = 2
Tasya [4]

Answer:

<h2>There are 30 possible combinations of picking two letters.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The combinations are defined as

C^{r}_{n}=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n is the total number of elements and r is the number of letter we are gonna picke, which is two. Using this information, we have

C^{2}_{6}=\frac{6!}{(6-2)!}=\frac{6!}{4!}=\frac{6 \times 5 \times 4!}{4!}=30

Therefore, there are 30 possible combinations of picking two letters.
