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

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

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

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

Line segment GT contains the point G(−3, 5) and a midpoint at A(1, −4). What is the location of endpoint T?

algol [13]

Imagine you're moving along the segment. Since the midpoint is in the middle of the segment (obviously), it means that when you've traveled from G to A, you're halfway through your journey, along both x and y directions. So, let's break the problem in two and analyze both directions.

Along the x axis, you've moved from -3 to 1, so you moved 4 units forward. This means that you have 4 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate 5.

Similarly, along the y axis, you've moved from 5 to -4, so you moved 9 units downward. This means that you have 9 units still to go, and your journey will end at coordinate -13.

So, the coordinates of the endpoint are $T = (5,-13)$
