Which is an expression for the total volume of the building?
OA) (9 x 6 x 3) + (5 x 4 x 9)
O B) (9 x 6 x 3) + (5 x 4 x 3)
OC) (9 x 10 x 3) + (5 x 4 x 9)
OD) (9 x 6 x 3) + (5 x 4 x 6)

the answer is su.k.my? ? co.kc

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84                 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice

regards,  

mrb

p.s.   i'll be on vacation from friday, dec 22 to jan 2, 2019. have a great new year!

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

(7 x + 6 y) (49 x^2 - 42 x y + 36 y^2)

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

a^3 + b^3 =   (a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2).

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.

you,

mrb
