If 2a+ 2/a =4, what is the value of 2a^2− 2/a^2 ?
1 answer:
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
2a+ 2/a =4
Multiply each side by a to clear the fraction
a( 2a+ 2/a) =4*a
Distribute
2a^2 +2 = 4a
Subtract 4a from each side
2a^2 -4a +2 = 4a-4a
2a^2 -4a +2 =0
Divide by 2
2/2 a^2 -4a/2 +2/2 =0/2
a^2 -2a +1=0
Factor
(a-1) (a-1) =0
Using the zero product property
a=1
2a^2 -2/a^2
2(1)^2 -2/1^2
2-2
0

Answer:
10/4
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the pythagorem theorem to solve for what is AB
6^2+8^2= c^2
36+64= c^2
100=c^2
c= 10= AB
Since we know that AB is 10 then we can divide it by 4
10/4
Your reasoning is inductive.
