If you would like to find the value of a in the polynomial, you can do this using the following steps:
(y - 4)(y^2 + 4y + 16) = y^3 + 4y^2 + 16y - 4y^2 - 16y - 64 = y^3 + 4y^2 + ay - 4y^2 - ay - 64
a = 16
The correct result would be 16.
Answer:the length of the shorter string= 36cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the lengths are 2x and 7x since thery are in the ratio of 2 :7
Such that Length of the shorter string = 2x
and the longer string = 7x so that the difference in Length which is 90cm can be expressed as
7x- 2x= 90
5x= 90
x 90/5
x= 18
shorter string = 2 x = 2x 18= 36cm
Longer strring = 7x 18=126cm
