The man travelled in different ways: by rail, by taxi, by ___ and by foot. I placed a blank there because there seems to be a missing word in the given problem above. For sample purposes, let's just assume that is travel by bus.

Since all of these travels are equal to 1 whole journey, you can express each travel as a fraction. When you add them up, the answer would be 1. So,

3/8 + 1/4 + 1/8 + x = 1

The variable x here denotes the fraction of his travel by foot. We are only given the exact distance travelled on foot which is 2 km. We have to find the fraction of the travel by foot to determine the length of the total distance travelled. Solving for x,

x = 1 - 3/8 - 1/4 - 1/8
x = 1/4

That means that the travel by foot comprises 1/4 of the whole journey. Thus,

Let total distance be D.

1.4*D = 2 km
D = 8 km

Therefore, the man travelled a total of 8 kilometers.

If a = √3-√11 and b = 1 /a, then find a² - b²​
Serga [27]

If b=\frac1a, then by rationalizing the denominator we can rewrite

b = \dfrac1{\sqrt3-\sqrt{11}} \times \dfrac{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}}{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}} = \dfrac{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}}{\left(\sqrt3\right)^2-\left(\sqrt{11}\right)^2} = -\dfrac{\sqrt3+\sqrt{11}}8

Now,

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

and

a - b = \sqrt3 - \sqrt{11} + \dfrac{\sqrt3 + \sqrt{11}}8 = \dfrac{9\sqrt3 - 7\sqrt{11}}8

a + b = \sqrt3 - \sqrt{11} - \dfrac{\sqrt3 + \sqrt{11}}8 = \dfrac{7\sqrt3 - 9\sqrt{11}}8

\implies a^2 - b^2 = \dfrac{\left(9\sqrt3 - 7\sqrt{11}\right) \left(7\sqrt3 - 9\sqrt{11}\right)}{64} = \boxed{\dfrac{441 - 65\sqrt{33}}{32}}
