Answer:
a² + b² = 68
a3 + b3 = 520
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
a + b = 10 (1)
ab = 16 (2)
A. Find a² + b²
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² (3)
Substitutite the values of (1) and (2) into (3)
(10)² = a² + 2(16) + b²
100 = a² + 32 + b²
Subtract 32 from both sides
100 - 32 = a² + b²
a² + b² = 68
B. a^3 + b^3
(a + b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a + b)
(10)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3*16(10)
1000 = a^3 + b^3 + 480
a^3 + b^3 = 1000 - 480
a3 + b3 = 520
1 pound = 16 ounces
So we have 85 lbs and 2 oz, that is if we convert them to ounces:
85(16) + 2 = 1362 oz
so we have 1362 oz total due to the conversion factor stated above, now we only need to divide:
1362/6 = 227
that is 227 oz
or if we want the result in pounds (lbs), we can by dividing again by 16
227/16 = 14.19 lbs
The mathematical answer would happen to be... 0
Answer:
B) -4
Step-by-step explanation:
(5/2)x + y = 2
x + (2/3)y = 4
y = 2 - (5/2)x
x + (2/3)(2 - (5/2)x) = 4
x + 4/3 - (5/3)x = 4
(-2/3)x = 8/3
-2x = 8
x = -4
