The answer could be negative or positive. We are not given specific as to whether or not the starting number is positive or negative so therefore it could be either.
Hope this is helpful :)
Option 1 : -22
using formula
(a + b )(a - b ) = a^2 - b^2
(√10 + 2√8) (√10 - 2√8)
= (√10)^2 - (2√8)^2
= 10 - 2×2×8=10-32
= -22
2nd question answer is option 3
Yes because is we replace both numbers it would end as...
ab=cd
14=14
