Mathematics

6 0

Answer:

(a-1) *(a^2 +a-1) (a+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a^4+2a^3-a-2

Lets factor by grouping

a^4-a +    2a^3-2

Factor out an a from the first group and a 2 from the second group

a(a^3 -1)  +2(a^3-1)

Factor out (a^3-1)

(a^3-1)(a+2)

We need to recognize that a^3-1 is the difference of cubes

(x^3-y^3) = (x-y) (x^2+xy+y^2)

Let x=a  and y=1

(a-1) *(a^2 +a-1) (a+2)

The sum of two numbers is 22. The difference is 6. What are the two numbers?
algol [13]

Answer:

Numbers are 14 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 numbers be x and y.

Write 2 equations:

x + y = 22

x - y = 6

Solve by substitution:

x - y = 6

x = y + 6

Plug into the other equation:

(y + 6) + y = 22

2y + 6 = 22

2y = 16

y = 8

Plug into either equation:

x + 8 = 22

x = 14

Numbers are 14 and 8
