Answer:
a = 3
b = 2
c = 0
d = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Form 4 equations and solve simultaneously
28 = a(2)³ + b(2)² + c(2) + d
28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)
-5 = -a + b - c + d (2)
220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)
-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d (4)
(1) + (4)
28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d
-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d
8 = 8b + 2d
d = 4 - 4b
Equation (2)
c = -a + b + d + 5
c = -a + b + 4 - 4b+ 5
c = -a - 3b + 9
28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d (1)
28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b
28 = 6a - 6b + 22
6a - 6b = 6
a - b = 1
a = b + 1
220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d (3)
220 = 64(b + 1) + 16b + 4(-b - 1 - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b
220 = 60b + 100
60b = 120
b = 2
a = 2 + 1
a = 3
c = -3 - 3(2) + 9
c = 0
d = 4 - 4(2)
d = -4
I'm going to assume that you are trying to find the two numbers. Based on the information in the problem, we can create the following equations (where 
and 
are the two numbers):
We have a systems of equations. In this case, it would be easier to use elimination by adding vertically. This produces the result:
To find , substitute the value for into one of the earlier equations:
The two numbers are 12 and 18.
A = 180(n - 2)
a = 180n - 180*2
a = 180n - 360
180n - 360 = a
180n = a + 360
n = (a + 360) / 180
Numerator for fraction above = ( a + 360), denominator = 180
The map is a flat schematic of some actual distance, on a map, the distance form point A to point B may well be 10 units say, however, in actuality, if you go and walk from point A to point B, you'd notice that, first off is not a straight line most of the time, and also it may have a slanted or sloped section, and the map is not including that slope or hill, whilst you do have to walk it.
so, adding all the twists and curves along the way and any bumps or slopes, is really not exactly 10 units from A to B.
