16a⁴ - b⁴ 

Factoring powers.

(4a²)²  -  (b²)²

(4a² + b²)(4a² - b²) is derived from the difference of two squares.

The term (<span>4a² - b²) is also identifiable as a difference of squares.
</span>
The equation (4a² - b²) can be expressed as (2a)² - b² = (2a - b)(2a + b)
<span>
Thus: 

</span>16a⁴ - b⁴  = (4a² + b²)(4a² - b²)  = (4a² + b²)(2a - b)(2a + b)<span>

</span>16a⁴ - b⁴  =  (4a² + b²)<span>(2a - b)(2a + b)</span><span>

This represents a difference of squares:

(16a^4 - b^4)

= (4a^2 + b^2)(4a^2 - b^2)

Furthermore, the second bracket can be simplified as it is also a difference of two squares:

(4a^2 + b^2)(4a^2 - b^2)

= (4a^2 + b^2)(2a - b)(2a + b)

The area of the postcard is 24 square inches. What is the width b of the message (in inches)?
Leona [12618]
Area of a rectangle = length x width
For this postcard:
length = 4 in
width = (3+b) in
area = 24 in^2

Substitute into the area formula:
24 = 4 x (3+b)
24 = 12 + 4b
24 - 12 = 4b
12 = 4b
b = 3 in

Therefore:
the length of the postcard = 4 inch
the width of the postcard = b+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 inch

How many solutions does the equation sin(5x) = 1/2 have on the interval (0, 2PI]
lawyer [12517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation

Sin(5x) = ½

5x = arcSin(½)

5x = 30°

Then,

The general formula for sin is

5θ = n180 + (-1)ⁿθ

Dividing throughout by 5

θ = n•36 + (-1)ⁿ30/5

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

The solution range is

0<θ<2π which means 0<θ<360

First solution

When n = 0

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿθ

θ = 0×36 + (-1)^0×6

θ = 6°

When n = 1

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36-6

θ = 30°

When n = 2

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×2 + 6

θ = 78°

When n =3

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×3 - 6

θ = 102°

When n=4

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×4 + 6

θ = 150

When n=5

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×5 - 6

θ = 174°

When n = 6

θ = 36n+ (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×6 + 6

θ = 222°

When n = 7

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×7 - 6

θ = 246°

When n =8

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×8 + 6

θ = 294°

When n =9

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×9 - 6

θ = 318°

When n =10

θ = 36n + (-1)ⁿ6

θ = 36×10 + 6

θ = 366°

When n = 10 surpasses the θ range

Thus, the solutions range from n =0 to n=9

Therefore, there are 10 solutions within the interval 0<θ<2π

Madhu's age is 3 times Sanku's age and difference between their ages is 14. Then find their ages?
Leona [12618]
Let Sanku be x. If Madhu's age is three times his, Madhu would be 3x. The age difference is 14, leading to the equation 3x - x = 14, which simplifies to 2x = 14, thus x = 7, indicating Sanku is 7 years old, while Madhu is 21.
