Using the distributive property to find the product (y — 4)(y2 + 4y + 16) results in a polynomial of the form y3 + 4y2 + ay – 4y

2 – ay – 64. What is the value of a in the polynomial?

Answer:

The value of a is 16    

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the product

(y - 4)(y^2 + 4y + 16)

we have to apply the distributive property express the expression in the form

y^3 + 4y^2 + ay - 4y^2 - ay - 64\text{ to find the value of a}

By distributive property

a(b+c)=a.b+a.c

(y - 4)(y^2 + 4y + 16)

y(y^2 + 4y + 16)-4(y^2 + 4y + 16)

y^3+4y^2+16y-4y^2-16y-64

\text{Compare this equation with }y^3 + 4y^2 + ay - 4y^2 - ay - 64

gives a=16

hence, the value of a is 16

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A. 3.60+5/6x=4.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = milk + price per pound of oranges* number of pounds

We know the total cost = 4.35 and the cost of the milk = 3.60  and the number of pounds of oranges = 5/6

4.35 = 3.6 +5/6 * x

Lines <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are parallel, so lines <em>p</em>, <em>q</em>, and <em>t</em> are considered to be transversals. To solve this, you make use of the fact that alternate interior angles are equal, as are alternate exterior angles, as are corresponding angles. Of course any linear pair of angles is supplementary.

∠1 = 90° — corresponding angle to the right angle above it

∠2 = 68° — the sum of 22° and angles 1 and 2 is 180°

∠3 = 112° — supplementary to angle 2 (and the sum of 22° and 90°, opposite interior angles of the triangle)

∠4 = 112° — equal to angle 3

∠5 = 68° — equal to angle 2; supplementary to angle 4

∠6 = 56° — base angle of isosceles triangle with 68° at the apex; the complement of half that apex angle

∠7 = 124° — supplementary to the other base angle, which is equal to angle 6; also the sum of angles 5 and 6

∠8 = 124° — alternate interior angle with angle 7, hence its equal.

If a 90 degree angle is a right angle, how does 360 degrees make a circle? Not for school,just for thought.

180 is a flat line and if you turn it’s not exactly a circle it seems that way but it just rotating
