Using the distributive property to find the product (y−4x)(y2+4y+16) results in a polynomial of the form y3+4y2+ay−4xy2−axy−64x.

<h3>Answer:  a = 16</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

Let's expand out that given expression.

First I'll let w = y-4x to make distribution a bit easier

(y-4x)(y^2+4y+16)\\\\w(y^2+4y+16)\\\\wy^2+4wy+16w\\\\

Now plug w = y-4x back in and distribute three more times

wy^2+4wy+16w\\\\y^2(w)+4y(w)+16(w)\\\\y^2(y-4x)+4y(y-4x)+16(y-4x)\\\\y^3-4xy^2+4y^2-\boldsymbol{16}xy+16y-64x\\\\

Notice that the only xy term here is the -16xy

Comparing this to the form -axy shows that \boldsymbol{a = 16}

A city's population is increasing at a rate of 2% per year.
Mariana [72]

Based on the information the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.)  2.97 million.

Using this formula

P(t) = Population ×(1+ rate)^t

Where:

Population=2 million

rate=2%

time=20 years

Let plug in the formula

P(t) = 2×(1+.02)^20

P(t) = 2×(1.02)^20

P(t) = 2×1.485947

P(t) = 2.97 million

Inconclusion the number of people that will there after 20 years is: d.)  2.97 million.
