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.

What is the value of a in the polynomial?

<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}

SOS I'm terrible at math.
Tresset [83]
<span>y = -5 cos x is a basic (simple) variation of the basic trig function y = cos x.

The given </span>y = -5 cos x could be re-written as <span>y = -5 cos 1x.
Compare this to the most general form:          y =  a cos bx.

Here we see that the coefficient b equals 1.

There is a rule for finding the period of such a function:  Period = 2pi/b.

Since b = 1 here, the Period here is 2pi/1, or simply 2pi.

Please stop saying "I'm terrible with math."  That does not help you at all.  Say, instead, "With just a little help I could understand this just fine."</span>

Two adjacent angles of a rhombus as in the ratio 2:3. Eind all the a angles of the rombus​
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Let the adjacent angles of the rhombus be 2x and 3x. We know that the sum of the measures of the adjacent angles is equal to 180°. AD = DC = 3 × 36° = 108°. Hence , the angles of the rhombus are 72° , 108° , 72° and 108°.
