Answer:

the expression is invented

I would say it was discovered.
Expanding (a + b)(a - b)
= a(a - b) + b(a - b)
= a^2 - ab + ba - b^2
= a^2 - b^2
So factorising the difference between two squares simply reverses the equation

3241004551 [841]

k-4/3= 3

Mutiply both sides by 3 .

(3)(k-4/3)= (3)(3)

Cross out 3 and 3 , divide by 3 and then becomes k-4= 9

Move -4 to the other side

Sign changes from -4 to +4

k-4+4= 9+4

k= 13

Answer: k= 13

The graph below describes the journey of a train between two cities.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

[A] Acceleration in first 15 min = 200  km/h²

[B] Distance between two cities = 125 km

[C] Average Speed of journey =  62.5  km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

To Solve:

Acceleration in first 15 min

Distance between two cities  

Average speed of journey

Solve:

[A] Work out the acceleration, in km/h?, in the first 15 mins.

Each horizontal block is 1/8 hr = 7.5 min

Each vertical block is 10 km/hr

Time                     Velocity  km/hr

0 Min  ( 0 hr)            0

15 Min (1/4 hr)           50

45 Min (3/4 hr)         50

60 MIn  ( 1 hr)            100

90 Min  ( 3/2 hr)        100

120 Min ( 2hr)            0

Acceleration in first 15 min  (1/4 hr)  =  (50 - 0)/(1/4 - 0)  = 50/(1/4)

= 200  km/h²

Hence, Answer for [A] = 200  km/h²

[B] Work out the distance between the two cities. $60 Velocity (in km/h)

= (1/2)(0 + 50)(1/4 - 0)  + 50 * (3/4 - 1/4)  + (1/2)(50 + 100)(1 - 3/4)  + 100 * (3/2 - 1) + (1/2)(100 + 0)(2 - 3/2)

=  25/4  + 25 + 75/4   + 50 + 25

= 125

Distance between two cities = 125 km

[C] Work out the average speed of the train during 20 the journey.

Average Speed of journey = 125/2  = 62.5  km/hr

Given that (in picture)...
GuDViN [60]
<h3>Answer:  a = -3 and b = 5</h3>

=================================================

Work Shown:

Multiply top and bottom by \sqrt{2} to rationalize the denominator

\frac{10-\sqrt{18}}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{2}(10-\sqrt{18})}{\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{2}*10-\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{18}}{\sqrt{2*2}}\\\\\frac{\sqrt{2}*10-\sqrt{2*18}}{\sqrt{4}}\\\\\frac{10\sqrt{2}-\sqrt{36}}{2}\\\\\frac{10\sqrt{2}-6}{2}\\\\\frac{-6+10\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\\frac{2(-3+5\sqrt{2})}{2}\\\\-3+5\sqrt{2}\\\\

We end up with something in the form a+b\sqrt{2} where a = -3 and b = 5
