Question

If 3x + 4y = 16 and xy = 4; find the value of 9x2 + 16y2.

Sum

Solution

Given that ( 3x + 4y ) = 16 and xy = 4
We need to find 9x2 + 16y2.
We know that
( a + b )2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
Consider the square of 3x + 4y :
∴ ( 3x + 4y )2 = (3x)2 + (4y)2 + 2 x 3x x 4y
⇒ ( 3x + 4y )2 = 9x2 + 16y2 + 24xy         .....(1)

Substitute the values of ( 3x + 4y ) and xy
in the above equation (1), we have
( 3x + 4y )2 = 9x2 + 16y2 + 24xy

⇒ (16)2 = 9x2 + 16y2 + 24(4)

⇒ 256 = 9x2 + 16y2 + 96

⇒ 9x2 + 16y2 = 160
