Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given:

Divide this equation by 2:

Note that

So, the previous equation is

Remind that

then

The solution of this equation is

1² + 3² + 4² + 4(n - 1)² = ¹/₃n(2n - 1)(2n + 1)
1² + 3² + 4² + (2n - 2)² = ¹/₃n(2n - 1)(2n + 1)
1 + 9 + 16 + (2n - 2)(2n - 2) = ¹/₃n(2n(2n + 1) - 1(2n + 1))
10 + 16 + (2n(2n - 2) - 2(2n - 2)) = ¹/₃n(2n(2n) + 2n(1) - 1(2n) - 1(1) 16 + (2n(2n) - 2n(2) - 2(2n) + 2(2)) = ¹/₃n(4n² + 2n - 2n - 1)
26 + (4n² - 4n - 4n + 4) = ¹/₃n(4n² - 1)
26 + (4n² - 8n + 4) = ¹/₃n(4n² - 1)
26 + 4n² - 8n + 4 = ¹/₃n(4n²) - ¹/₃n(1)
4n² - 8n + 4 + 26 = 1¹/₃n³ - ¹/₃n
4n² - 8n + 30 = 1¹/₃n³ - ¹/₃n
+ ¹/₃n + ¹/₃n
4n² - 7²/₃n + 30 = 1¹/₃n³
-1¹/₃n³ + 4n² - 7²/₃n + 30 = 0
-3(-1¹/₃n³ + 4n² - 7²/₃n + 30) = -3(0)
-3(-1¹/₃n³) - 3(4n²) - 3(-7²/₃n) - 3(30) = 0
4n³ - 12n² + 23n - 90 = 0
The problem gives a distance with a fraction (not a decimal); there is absolutely no reason to convert it to a decimal. In 4 days, Val walks: 4*(2 3/5) miles 4*(13/5) miles [convert to improper fraction] 52/5 miles 10 2/5 miles [convert to mixed number] Compare that to Bill, who runs 10 miles every 4 days. Val runs a greater distance.

Hope this helps. :)
I am assuming that you mean

and

Now, let's look for common factors. The first one is

After we take that out, we are left with 14 and 22. We can take a 2 out of both of these, so the greatest common factors is
