I would believe it to be 22
(y-4)(y^2+4y+16)
y^3+4y^2+16y-4y^2-16y-64=y^3+4y^2+ay-4y^2-ay-64
Comparing the coefficients: a=16
Answer: The value of a in the polynomial is 16
A conditional statement is written in the if-then form. The hypothesis is the first or "if" part while the conclusion is the "then" or then part. Thus, the conditional statement would be
If a person lives in Ohio, then the person lives in the United states
To form the converse of the conditional statement, the hypothesis and conclusion are interchanged. It becomes
If a person lives in the United states, then they live in Ohio
