Find the value of 9×2 + 16y2.

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

Answer :

We know that

(3x – 4y)2 = 9x2 + 16y2 – 24xy

It can be written as

9x2 + 16y2 = (3x – 4y)2 + 24xy

It is given that

3x – 4y = 16 and xy = 4

Substituting the values

9x2 + 16y2 = 162 + 24 × 4

By further calculation

= 256 + 96

= 352
