Three boxes contain counters

1 answer:

What we Know: 3 box have some counters. There are 63 counters when they are all combined.
A and B counters = 36
The difference between A and C is 10.
Since we already know A and B we can subtract them from 63 to get C
C= 63- 36 = 27
Now we have to find A by looking for what number gives us the difference of 10 when subtracted from C.
36 = 18+ 18 or 19+ 17
18 and 18 wont work because it does not give us the difference of 10.
So A = 17 counters and B = 19 counters.

Choose the appropriate pattern and use it to find the product: (p4−q4)(p4+q4).

sp2606 [1]

The expression can be solved by expanding the bracket and multiplying out the terms

$(p^4-q^4)(p^4+q^4)$ $\begin{gathered} =p^4(p^4+q^4)-q^4(p^4+q^4) \\ =p^8+p^4q^4-p^4q^4-q^8 \\ =p^8-q^8 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the expression can be simplified as;

$p^8-q^8$

Alternatively, using the theorem of difference of two squares, which is

$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$

Hence,

$p^8-q^8=(p^4)^2-(q^4)^2$
