If a+1/a=3 then find the value of a-1/a​

Mathematics
1 answer:
kenny6666 [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • √5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given a + 1/a = 3, find its square:</u>

  • a² + 2a*1/a + 1/a² = 9
  • a² + 1/a² = 9 - 2 = 7

<u>Now find the square of (a - 1/a):</u>

  • a² - 2a*1/a + 1/a² =
  • a² + 1/a² - 2

<u>Substitute the value from the first square:</u>

  • 7 - 2 = 5

<u>Since (a - 1/a)² = 5, its square root is:</u>

  • a - 1/a = √5

Please help me please I reallly need help
kiruha [24]

Answer:

we have:

v  =  \frac{1}{3} \pi \: r {}^{2}h \\  \\  =  > 60\pi =  \frac{1}{3} \pi \: r {}^{2} h \\  \\  <  =  > 180 = r {}^{2} h

=> r²h = 10.18 = 9.20 = 5.36 = 6.30 = 4.45 = 12.15

=> only r²h = 5.36 satisfy the problem

=> h = 5

h = 5 r = 6

h = 5 r = 6=> d = 12

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

\frac{a(450-8a^2)}{4}

is the volume in terms of side a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that you I built a storage shed in the shape of a rectangular box on a square base. The material that I used for the base cost $4 per square foot, the material for the roof cost $2 per square foot, and the material for the sides cost $2.50 per square foot; and I spent $450 altogether on material for the shed.

Let a be the side of square and h be the height

Total cost of materials = cost for floor + cost for roof + cost for sides

= area of floor (4) + lateral area (2.50)+roof area (2)

=4a^2+4ah+4a^2\\=8a^2+4ah = 450h = \frac{450-8a^2}{4a}

Now coming to volume

Volume = V = lbh = a^2 h\\= a^2*\frac{450-8a^2}{4a} \\=\frac{a(450-8a^2)}{4}
