Suppose two bicyclists start at the same location.

Mathematics
1 answer:
aliya0001 [1]2 years ago

Answer:

  4 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between the cyclists is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle. The hypotenuse is √2 times the length of the legs in such a triangle, so each cyclist must have ridden 8 miles in 2 hours.

Their speed is (8 mi)/(2 h) = 4 mi/h.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Consider an isosceles right triangle with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem tells us the length of the hypotenuse is ...

  c² = a² +b² . . . square of hypotenuse is sum of squares of legs

  c² = 1² +1² . . . . both legs are 1 in our example triangle

  c² = 2

  c = √2

That is, the hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length.

Using the binomial theorem, expand the expression (4 + y) to the power of 4
Flauer [41]

Answer:

When raised to the power of 4, the binomial (4 + y) expands to:

y^4 + 16y^3 + 96y^2 + 256y + 256

Step-by-step explanation:

(4 + y)^4 \\= (y^2 + 8y + 16)^2\\= y^4 + 8y^3 + 16y^2 + 8y^3 + 64y^2 + 128y + 16y^2 + 128y + 256\\= y^4 + 16y^3 + 96y^2 + 256y + 256
