You ALWAYS remove parentheses first.

That gives you [ 1/4 a⁴ b⁻² ] in the denominator, and then
you can start dividing the numerator and denominator by
their common factors ("canceling").

I think the answer to that might be 1/2 or .5ab^3 because I multiplied the bottom part -2*-2 which is 4ab^4 then the top part is 2ab -3+2= 2ab^-1 then divide 2/4 and subtract -1-4 so it's = 1/2 or .5ab^3

If A+B+C=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cpi" id="TexFormula1" title="\pi" alt="\pi" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"

Answer:

$a + b + c = \pi \\ = > c= \pi - a - b \\ < = > \tan(c) = \tan(\pi - a - b) = -\tan(a + b)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have:

$\tan(a) + \tan(b) + \tan(c) \\ = \tan(a) + \tan(b) - \tan(a + b) \\ = \tan( a) + \tan(b) - \frac{ \tan(a) + \tan(b) }{1 - \tan(a) \tan(b) } \\ = \frac{ ( \tan(a) + \tan(b) ) \tan(a) \tan(b) }{ \tan(a) \tan(b) - 1 } (1)$

we also have:

$\tan(a) \tan(b) \tan(c) \\ = - \tan(a) \tan(b) \tan(a + b) \\ = \frac{ -(\tan( a ) + \tan(b) ) \tan(a) \tan(b) }{1 - \tan(a) \tan(b) } \\ = \frac{( \tan(a) + \tan(b)) \tan(a) \tan(b) }{ \tan(a) \tan(b) - 1 } (2)$

from (1)(2) => proven

Prove that if a is a natural number, then there exist two unequal natural numbers k and l for which ak−al is divisible by 10.

EastWind [94]

Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial).
Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. 
R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. 
Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) 
Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.
