Answer:

2/105

Step-by-step explanation:

"r" is the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two fractions. It can be found using Euclid's algorithm in the usual way.

(8/15) - (18/35) = 56/105 - 54/105 = 2/105 . . . . . this is (8/15) mod (18/35)

We can see that the next step, division of 54/105 by 2/105, will produce a remainder of 0, so the GCD is 2/105.

The greatest rational number r is 2/105.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The ratios are (8/15)/(2/105) = 28; (18/35)/(2/105) = 27. These whole numbers are relatively prime, so there is no larger r than the one we found.

Complete the following: (2x +3y)^2 = (2x)^2+2(2x)(3y) +(____)^2

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Complete function will be $(2x+3y)^2=(2x)^2+(3y)^2+2\times (2x)\times (3y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given equation $(2x+3y)^2=(2x)^2+2\times (2x)\times (3y)+..........^2$

We have to find the function in place of blank space and complete the function

We know the algebraic equation $(a+b)^2=a^2+b^2+2ab$

So $(2x+3y)^2=(2x)^2+(3y)^2+2\times (2x)\times (3y)$

So in place of blank pace there will be $(3y)^2$

And complete function will be $(2x+3y)^2=(2x)^2+(3y)^2+2\times (2x)\times (3y)$
