If (3a+4b)=16 and ab=4, find the value of (9a^2+16b^2).​

Sagot :

Answer:

160

Step-by-step explanation:

(3a+4b) = 16

ab = 4

Square (3a+4b)

(3a+4b)(3a+4b) = 16^2

9a^2 + 12ab+12ab+16b^2 = =256

9a^2 +16b^2   +24ab=256

9a^2 +16b^2   +24ab - 24 ab=256 -24ab

9a^2 +16b^2  =256- 24ab

We know ab = 4

9a^2 +16b^2  =256- 24*4

9a^2 +16b^2  =256- 96

9a^2 +16b^2  =160
