Answer:
0'777
+765
Step-by-step explanation:
Expanding (2x² + y²)⁴ with Pascal triangle or using binomial theorem gives:
(2x² + y²)⁴ = 16x⁸ + 32x⁶y² + 24x⁴y⁴ + 8x²y⁶ + y⁸
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
x 9
---- = ----
16 x
Cross mult., we get x^2 = (16)(9)
Taking the sqrt of both sides, we get x = plus or minus (4)(3), or
x= plus or minus 12
Since x is measure of distance here, omit the -12 result. x = +12 units
