Remember the formula for the volume of cube?

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

no

Miracrown (miracrown):

if the side of box is x, then volume is x^3. we compute (5a + 4b)^3 there is a formula for computing the type of function.

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

V=A^3

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

i still didnt get it

OpenStudy (mathmale):

So, please multiply out (5a + 4b)^3 = (5a+4b)(5a+4b)(5a+4b). Hint: (a+b)^2 = (a+b)(a+b) = a^2 + 2ab + b^2. There is a corresponding formula for (a+b)^3, as Miracrown has already told you. Please show your first steps towards solving this problem. Then you're more likely to get helpful responses.

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

A

OpenStudy (kc_kennylau):

A is (a+b)^3

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Aren't you going to show your work, so that the rest of us know why you've chosen A?

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

ok

OpenStudy (yacoub1993):

its alittle complicated
