The denominator of the first term is a difference of squares, such that

4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em>)² - <em>b</em> ² = (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

So you can write the fractions as

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)/(2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)

Multiply through the second fraction by 2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em> to get a common denominator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²)/((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>)) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²/((2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>))

((4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²) / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

Expand the numerator:

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>)²

(4<em>a</em> ² + <em>b</em> ²) - (4<em>a</em> ² - 4<em>ab</em> + <em>b</em> ²)

4<em>ab</em>

<em />

So the original expression reduces to

4<em>ab</em> / ((2<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>) (2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>))

or

4<em>ab</em> / (4<em>a</em> ² - <em>b</em> ²)

upon condensing the denominator again.

divide that by 7
47.428 about

distance each is from the mean

52 is 4.572 from it
46 is 1.428 from it
48 is 0.562 from it
42 is 5.428 from it
38 is 9.428 from it

add those and average them

What two numbers add to 2 and multiply to -80
kap26 [50]
The answer is -8 and 10.

When a positive and negative are multiplied together, the result is always negative: -8 times 10 = -80.

When you add a positive and negative number together, it's really subtracting the negative from the positive: 10 - 8 = 2.
