4 0

Answer: 4/a

Explanation:
(a+1/a)^2 - (a-1/a)^2
= (a^2 + 2a + 1)/a^2 - (a^2 - 2a + 1)/a^2
= (a^2 + 2a + 1 - a^2 + 2a - 1)/a^2
= 4a/a^2
= 4/a

Answer:

$\sqrt{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

$\sqrt{a}$ × $\sqrt{b}$ ⇔ $\sqrt{ab}$

Simplifying the radicals

$\sqrt{20}$ = $\sqrt{4(5)}$ = $\sqrt{4}$ × $\sqrt{5}$ = 2 $\sqrt{5}$

$\sqrt{45}$ = $\sqrt{9(5)}$ = $\sqrt{9}$ × $\sqrt{5}$ = 3 $\sqrt{5}$

Thus

- 6(2 $\sqrt{5}$ ) + 2(3 $\sqrt{5}$ ) + 7 $\sqrt{5}$

= - 12 $\sqrt{5}$ + 6 $\sqrt{5}$ + 7 $\sqrt{5}$

= $\sqrt{5}$
