Can someone help me in this? a^2-ab-b-1

Mathematics
1 answer:
zheka24 [161]3 years ago

Answer:

(a + 1) (a − b − 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you're trying to factor the expression?  If so, use quadratic formula to find the roots.

a = [ -(-b) ± √((-b)² − 4(1)(-b−1)) ] / 2(1)

a = [ b ± √(b² + 4b + 4) ] / 2

a = [ b ± (b + 2) ] / 2

a = -1 or b + 1

(a − (-1)) (a − (b + 1))

(a + 1) (a − b − 1)

A 13?-foot board is cut into two pieces. The longer piece is 7.5 feet longer than the shorter piece. What is the length of each?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The smaller board would be 2.75 feet and the longer one would be 10.25 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, assume the shorter board is equal to x. Next, we would know that the longer board would be equal to x + 7.5. Using these two assumptions, we can add the lengths together, set equal to 13 and then solve for x.

x + (x + 7.5) = 13

2x + 7.5 = 13

2x = 5.5

x = 2.75

Now that we have the length of the shorter board, we can add 7.5 to it to get the larger one.

2.75 + 7.5 = 10.25
