Answer: a²+b² = -99/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given two equations, this equations will be solved simultaneously to get a² and b²

a³ - 3ab² = 47 ... 1

b³ - 3a² b = 52... 2

From 1, a(a² - 3b²) = 47...3

From 2, b(b² - 3a²) = 52... 4

Adding 3 and 4, we have;

a²+b²-3b²-3a² = 99 (note that a and b will no longer be part of the equations as they have been factored out)

a²+b²-(3b²+3a²) = 99

(a²+b²) -3(b²+a²)= 99

Taking the difference we have

- 2(a²+b²) = 99

a²+b² = -99/2

Hodel just got her driver's license. Her parents offer her two options. 1. They'll buy her a used car that will cost her $0.50 p
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The second option will cost her less than the first one.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we will create two functions to represent the cost of the car in function of the miles drove by her.

For the first option we have:

cost_1(x) = 0.5*x

For the second option we have:

cost_2(x) = 5000 + 0.1*x

Since she intends to drive it for 10,000 miles per year for 6 years, then the total mileage she intends to drive her car is 60,000 miles. Applying this to the formula of each car and we have:

cost_1(60000) = 0.5*60000 = 30000

cost_2(60000) = 5000 + 60000*0.1 = 11000

The second option will cost her less than the first one.
