7 0

Answer:

a=9 b=18

Step by-step explanation:

First we will find b.

Because there is no 18 in this set and it's an even set of numbers, this would mean that 18 is not present in the set.

The only way for 18 to the be the mean is for b to equal 19. When calculating the average of 17 and 19 your average, or mean, is 18.

a has to be a number ranging  from 7-12.

Through trial and error, it can be found that the missing value of a is 9.

Hope this helps!

Factor 4a^2-b^2-2a+b
Marianna [84]

Answer:Equation at the end of step 1

 

STEP

2

:

           4a2 - b2

Simplify   ————————

            2a - b  

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

2.1      Factoring:  4a2 - b2  

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check :  4  is the square of  2  

Check :  a2  is the square of  a1  

Check :  b2  is the square of  b1  

Factorization is :       (2a + b)  •  (2a - b)  

Canceling Out :

2.2    Cancel out  (2a - b)  which appears on both sides of the fraction line.

Final result :

 2a + b
