If the average of x and y is 11 and the average of x, y and z is 5, what is the value of z? ​

Mathematics

Answer:

z = -17

Step-by-step explanation:

If the average of x and y is 11, then;

x+y/2 = 11

x+y = 2 + 11

x+y = 22 .... 1

similarly, if average of x, y and z is 5, then;

x+y+z/3 = 5

x+y+z = 3*5

x+y+z = 15

Since x+y = 22

22 + z = 5

z  = 5 - 22

z = -17

Hence the value of z is -17

Expand the polynomial and simplify: (4xy− 1 8 y^2)^2
Vinvika [58]

Answer: 4y^{2}(2x-9y)^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following polynomial:

(4xy-18y^{2})^{2}

This is a polynomial of the form (a-b)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2}. Following this rule to expand it, we have:

(4xy)^{2}-2(4xy)(18y^{2})+(18y^{2})^{2}

16x^{2}y^{2}-144xy^{3}+324y^{4}

Applying common factor 4y^{2}:

4y^{2}(4x^{2}-36xy+81y^{2})

Note the polynomial inside the parenthesis is a perfect square trinomial, which can be factored to(2x-9y)^{2}. Hence, the final simplification is:

4y^{2}(2x-9y)^{2}
