Answer:

4033

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to solve this problem is to notice the numerator, 2017^4-2016^4 resembles the special product a^2 - b^2. In this case, 2017^4 is a^2 and 2016^4 is b^2. We can set up equations to solve for a and b:

a^2 = 2017^4

a = 2017^2

b^2 = 2016^4

b = 2016^2

Now, the special product a^2 - b^2 factors to (a + b)(a - b), so we can substitute that for the numerator:

<h3>\frac{(2017^2+2016^2)(2017^2 - 2016^2)}{2017^2+2016^2}</h3>

We can notice that both the numerator and denominator contain 2017^2 + 2016^2, so we can divide by \frac{2017^2+2016^2}{2017^2+2016^2} which is just one, and will simplify the fraction to just:

2017^2 - 2016^2

This again is just the special product a^2 - b^2, but in this case a is 2017 and b is 2016. Using this we can factor it:

(2017 + 2016)(2017 - 2016)

And, without using a calculator, this is easy to simplify:

(4033)(1)

What is the equation in point-slope form of a line that passes through the points (-4, -1) and (5, 7)?
Setler [38]

Answer:

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the slope: [7- (-1)]/ [5 - (-4)] = 8/9

Using (-4, -1)

y-(-1) = 8/9[x- (-4)]

y + 1 = 8/9(x +4)

Find the equation of the straight line through (–2, 3) perpendicular<br> to 2x + y =8
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

We need to find the slope, m, and the y-intercept, b.

The line we need is perpendicular to the line 2x + y = 8.

<em>The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.</em>

We solve the given equation for y to find the slope of the given line.

2x + y = 8

y = -2x + 8

The given line has slope -2.

The negative reciprocal of -2 is 1/2.

Our line has slope, m = 1/2.

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + b

Now we use the given point, (-2, 3), for x and y, using x = -2, and y = 3, and we solve for b.

y = 1/2 x + b

3 = 1/2 * (-2) + b

3 = -1 + b

4 = b

b = 4

Now we have

y = 1/2 x + 4

Answer: y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 4
