Rena decides to go to a technical college for 18 months to get a degree in computer networking. There are 6 school quarters in the program with a tuition of $600 each. Books for the entire program cost $2,800. How much will it cost Rena to get his degree?

Total Cost 6400

Step-by-step explanation:

Each quarter is 600 dollars

There are 6 quarters. 6 * 600 =              3600

Books                                                       2800

Total                                                          6400

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

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

discussion:

in general, the factorization of a^3 + b^3 is

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

in our case note that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 so the equation becomes:

343x^3 + 216y^3 = (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

if you think of a (above) as 7x and b as 6y the factorization becomes

343x^3 + 216y^3 =

((7x + 6y) (   (7x)^2 - 7x*6y + (6y)^2)   =

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

you,

mrb

(a + b) (a^2 - a b + b^2)

it is 570
