Question:

If $ (a+ 1)^2 + 9A+ 2)^2 = 16 $ then what is the value of 40 + 12 a + 4a2 ?

Options:

56

62

74

52

Correct Answer:

62

Explanation:

If $ (a+ 1)^2 + (A+ 2)^2 = 16 $

what is the value of 40 + 12 a + 4a2 ?

(a+ 1)^2 + (A+ 2)^2 = 16 $

a2 + 1 + 2a + a2 + 4 + 4a = 16

2a2 + 6a + 5 = 16

2a2 + 6a = 11

Multiply the above equation by 2

4a2 + 12a = 22

Now put this in 40 + 12 a + 4a2 

40 + 22 = 62
