Using the distributive property to find the product (y – 4)(y2 + 4y + 16) results in a polynomial of the form y3 + 4y2 + ay – 4y2 – ay – 64. What is the value of a in the polynomial?

The answer to your question is a = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Polynomial

                  (y - 4) (y² + 4y + 16)

Process

1.- Multiply y by each term of the polynomial

                y(y² + 4y + 16) = y³ + 4y² + 16y

2.- Multiply -4 by each term of the polynomial

                -4(y² + 4y + 16) = -4y² - 16y - 64

3.- Write both results

                y³ + 4y² + 16y - 4y² - 16y - 64

In bold we notice that a = 16

step-by-step explanation:

cougars 12/10 (12-10 = 2)

bobcats 20/10 (20-10 =10)

bulldogs 8/5 (8-5 =3)

tigers 3/5 (3-5 =-2)

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)
