If a^2+1/a^2=79 where (a>0), find the value of a^3 +1/a^3

Note the binomial expansion,

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)³ = <em>a</em> ³ + 3<em>a</em> + 3/<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em> ³

so

<em>a</em> ³ + 1/<em>a</em> ³ = (<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)³ - 3 (<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)

Similarly,

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² = <em>a</em> ² + 2 + 1/<em>a</em> ²

We're given <em>a</em> ² + 1/<em>a</em> ² = 79, so

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² - 2 = 79

(<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em>)² = 81

<em>a</em> + 1/<em>a</em> = ±9

but <em>a</em> > 0, so we ignore the negative solution.

Then

<em>a</em> ³ + 1/<em>a</em> ³ = 9³ - 3×9 = 702

Line J M is the perpendicular bisector of LK.
drek231 [11]

Answer:

The congruent segments are LN and NK ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If a line is a perpendicular bisector of another line, that means this line intersects the other line in its midpoint and form right angles around this point</em>

∵ Line JM is the perpendicular bisector of line LK

→ That means JM intersect LK at the midpoint of LK

∵ Line JM intersects line LK at point N

∴ Point N is the midpoint of LK

∵ N divides LK into two segments LN and NK

∵ N is the midpoint of LK

→ That means LN equals NK

∴ LN = NK

∴ The congruent segments are LN and NK

JulsSmile [24]
There is an app that could help u out a lot is called MathPapa
(3-4x)(8+3x)
= (3+-4x)(8+3x)
= (3)(8)+(3)(3x)+(-4x)(8)+(-4x)(3x)
= 24+9x-32x-12x^2
= -12x^2-23x+24
