Find $25 x^{2}+16 y^{2}$, if $5 x+4 y=8$ and $x y=1$.


Given :

$5x+4y=8$ and $xy=1$.

To find :

We have to find the value of $25 x^{2}+16 y^{2}$.

Solution :

We know that, $(a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2+2ab$.

$(5x+4y)^2=25x^2 + 16y^2+2 (5x)(4y)$

$(5x+4y)^2= 25 x^2 + 16y^2+40xy$.........(i)

Substitute $5x+4y=8$ and $xy=1$ in (i),

$8^2 = 25x^2+16y^2+40(1)$

$64=25x^2+16y^2+40$

$64-40=25x^2+16y^2$

$25x^2+16y^2=24$

Therefore, the value of $25x^2+16y^2$ is 24.
