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:

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

if a dealer buys a car from a manufacturer for $20,480 and sells it for $26,808...what is his markup? rounded to the nearest ten

yulyashka [42]

To find the markup, substract the price at which the car was bought from the price at which the car was sold:

$26,808-20,480=6328$

To find the markup as a percentage from the original price, set 20,480 to be equal to 100%. If <em>x%</em> represents 6328, then:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{6328}=\frac{100}{20,480} \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{100\times6328}{20,480}=30.898\ldots \end{gathered}$

To the nearest tenth, 30.898... = 30.9.

Therefore, the markup is equal to 30.9%.
