Using the distributive property to find the product (y - 4x)(y ^ 2 + 4y + 16) results in a polynomial of the form y ^ 3 + 4y ^ 2

+ ay - 4x * y ^ 2 - axy - 64x . What is the value of a in the polynomial?

Answer:

a=16

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Therefore using the distributive property

(y - 4x)(y ^ 2 + 4y + 16)

=y(y ^ 2 + 4y + 16) - 4x(y ^ 2 + 4y + 16)

Expanding the brackets

y ^ 3 + 4y^2 + 16y - 4xy ^ 2 - 16xy - 64x.....(i)

Comparing with the form

y ^ 3 + 4y ^ 2 + ay - 4x  y ^ 2 - axy - 64x-----(ii)

The coefficient of y in (i) is 16 which corresponds to a and the likewise the coefficient of xy

Therefore, a=16

HELP ASAP I'M FAILING AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS

The intercept can be found when all other variables are equated to zero.
x-intercept when y = 0 and z = 0: 8x + 6*0 + 3*0 = 24 gives x = 3
y-intercept when x = 0 and z = 0: 8*0 + 6y + 3*0 = 24 gives y = 4
z-intercept when x = 0 and y = 0: 8*0 + 6*0 + 3z = 24 gives z = 8

The intercepts are (3, 0, 0), (0, 4, 0), and (0, 0, 8).
