Answer:

3ab

-------------------

(b+a)

Step-by-step explanation:

3/a - 3/b

-------------------

1/a^2 - 1/b^2

Multiply the top and bottom by a^2 b^2/ a^2/b^2 to clear the fractions

(3/a - 3/b) a^2 b^2

-------------------

(1/a^2 - 1/b^2) a^2b^2

3ab^2 - 3 a^2 b

-------------------

b^2 - a^2

Factor out 3ab on the top

3ab( b-a)

-------------------

b^2 - a^2

The bottom is the difference of squares

3ab( b-a)

-------------------

(b-a) (b+a)

Cancel like terms from the top and bottom

3ab

-------------------

(b+a)

Answer:

3ab/(b+a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying the numerator:

3/a - 3/b

3[1/a - 1/b]

Lcm is ab

3[(b - a)/ab]

Simplifying the denominator:

1/a² - 1/b²

Lcm: a²b²

(b² - a²)/(a²b²)

(b - a)(b + a)/(a²b²)

Numerator ÷ denominator

3[(b - a)/ab] ÷ (b - a)(b + a)/(a²b²)

3[(b - a)/ab] × a²b²/[(b - a)(b + a)]

3ab/(b + a)

How do you do this trig problem.

loris [4]

Consider a right triangle in which one of the angles $\theta$ satisfies

$\sin\theta=\dfrac35\implies\theta=\sin^{-1}\dfrac35$

That is, the side opposite $\theta$ occurs in a ratio of 3 to 5 with the hypotenuse. The side adjacent to $\theta$ then occurs in a ratio of 4 to 5 with the hypotenuse. In other words,

$\cos\theta=\dfrac45$

because

$\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=\dfrac9{25}+\dfrac{16}{25}=1$

Then in this triangle,

$\cot\theta=\cot\left(\sin^{-1}\dfrac35\right)=\dfrac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}=\dfrac{\frac45}{\frac35}=\dfrac43$

Find the radius r of C.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

$r=10.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(r+7)^2=r^2+14^2$

$r^2+14r^2+49=r^2+196$

$14r=196-49$

$14r=147$

$r=147/14$

$r=10.5$
