A pilot flies 200 km north, then 300 km 45° northeast and finally 250 km southeast. Graphically, determine the pilot's net displacement for this trip.

you need a common difference between consecutive terms to be constant, like 1,2,3,4 or 2,4,6,8, or 1,3,6,9

step-by-step explanation:

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

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

discussion:

the trick is to recognize that 343 = 7^3 and 216 = 6^3 and, in general,

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

in our case

343x^3+216y^3   =   (7x)^3 + (6y)^3

so take a = 7x and b = 6y in the above equation to get the answer.
