"Vary directly" is another way of saying "directly proportional".

In simple English, this just means, as one increases, the other increases too.

a = 6

b = 4

The question says find out what a is when b is 16.

First, lets find how many times larger b has gotten.

16/4 = 4

b had gotten 4 times bigger to go from b=4 to b=16

If a is varying directly, it means that it will also get 4 times bigger.

Therefore, a = 6 x 4 = 24

Expand and reduce (2+√3)^2
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

7 + 4\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

note that \sqrt{a} × \sqrt{a} = a

Given

(2 + \sqrt{3} )² = (2 + \sqrt{3} )(2 + \sqrt{3} )

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2(2 + \sqrt{3} ) + \sqrt{3}(2 + \sqrt{3} ) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 4 + 2\sqrt{3} + 2\sqrt{3} + 3 ← collect like terms

= 7 + 4\sqrt{3}
