Prove that a+b/2≥√ab

1 answer:

3 0

Start by squaring both sides got remove the sqrt
[(a+b)/2]^2 ≥ ab
(a^2 +2ab +b^2 )/4≥ ab
Multiply both sides by 4
a^2 +2ab +b^2 ≥ 4ab
Subtract 2ab from both sides
a^2 + b^2 ≥ 2ab
Subtract 2ab from both sides
a^2 - 2ab + b^2 ≥ 0
Use quadratic equation to solve where a = 1 and b = -2b
2b ± sqrt[(-2b)^2 - (4x1xb^2)]/(2x1)
2b ± sqrt[4b^2 - 4b^2]/2
(2b ± 0)/2
a = b
Substituting for b in the equation a^2 + b^2 ≥ 2ab
2a^2 ≥ 2a^2

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>3n^3+4n^2+7n-14</h2>

Solution,

5n^3+4n^2-9+(-2n^3+7n-5)

= 5n^3+4n^2-9-2n^3+7n-5.

Combine the like terms,

=5n^3-2n^3+4n^2+7n-9-5

=3n^3+4n^2+7n-14

hope it helps

I just don't know it

Looking at the question. you'll know that it's a subtraction question so that eliminates C and D. Now look at A and B. It says that 33 stamps were used. So that means the answer is not a negative expression. (B) Is Eliminated.

Answer:
Inverse property of multiplication

Explanation:
The inverse property of multiplication means that each terms undoes the function of the other. The main purpose of the inverse property in multiplication is to obtain 1.
In the given:
17/3 * 3/17
We will find that the 17 in the numerator is cancelled with the 17 in the denominator and the 3 in the numerator is cancelled with the 3 in the denominator.
Therefore, the final answer is 1.

Hope this helps :)
