If m ∆ n means m²-2mm+n², determine the value of 3∆2.
Here we are given that m ∆ n means m² -2mn +n². And we need to find the value of 3∆2 . So let's find out what does the " ∆ " operator does.
Here we can see that m² - 2mn - n² is the whole square of ( m - n)² . A inference can be taken out that the operator " ∆ " first subtracts the two numbers and then squares the obtained value to get the result . That is ,
Now similarly let's simplify out 3 ∆ 2.
Step 1 : <u> </u><u>Subtra</u><u>ct</u><u> </u><u>the </u><u>two</u><u> </u><u>numbers</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
This means we need to subtract 2 from 3 . This will give result as ,
Step 2 : <u>Square </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>obta</u><u>ined</u><u> </u><u>val</u><u>ue</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>
Here , the value obtained from step 1 is 1 and the square of 1 is 1 . So our final result would be,
