Does that say 4 x 8x + 1 = 2(squared)x?
a(x+1)(x-1)+b(x-2)(x+1)+(x+1)^2=9x^2-x-10
(x+1)(a(x-1)+b(x-2)+(x+1))=(x+1)(9x-10)
a(x-1)+b(x-2)+x+1=9x-10
Now this equation is much simpler!
(a+b)x-a-2b+x+1=9x-10
(a+b)x-a-2b=8x-11
(a+b-8)x-a-2b-11=0
a+b-8=(a+2b-11)/x
I can't solve it 3 variables and 1 equations means infinite answers so yea.
Answer:
A=120
B=20
C=20
Total area=160 cm2
This is really weird because the numbers dont look proportional to the shape but according to the data it should be correct :/
since diameter is given, use the 2nd equation
