WILL MARK BRAINLIEST If a + b = 10, and ab = 16, then find the value of the following: i .a2 + b2 ii. a3 – b3

a² + b² = 68

a3 + b3 = 520

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

a + b = 10 (1)

ab = 16 (2)

A. Find a² + b²

(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² (3)

Substitutite the values of (1) and (2) into (3)

(10)² = a² + 2(16) + b²

100 = a² + 32 + b²

Subtract 32 from both sides

100 - 32 = a² + b²

a² + b² = 68

B. a^3 + b^3

(a + b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a + b)

(10)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3*16(10)

1000 = a^3 + b^3 + 480

a^3 + b^3 = 1000 - 480

a3 + b3 = 520
