Question

Question 16

$a^{2} - b^{2}$ is equal to
a) $(a - b)^{2}$
b) $(a - b) (a - b)$
c) $(a + b) (a - b)$
d) $(a + b) (a + b)$

Open in App

Solution

c) $(a + b) (a - b)$

a) $(a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2 a b + b^{2}$
b) $(a - b) (a - b) = (a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2 a b + b^{2}$
c) $(a + b) (a - b) = a (a - b) + b (a - b)$
$= a^{2} - a b + b a - b^{2}$ $= a^{2} - b^{2}$ $[∵ a b = b a]$
d) $(a + b) (a + b) = (a + b)^{2} = a^{2} + 2 a b + b^{2}$

Q. If A and B are square matrices of the same order, then (A + B)(A − B) is equal to

(a) A² − B²
(b) A² − BA − AB − B²
(c) A² − B² + BA − AB
(d) A² − BA + B²+ AB

Q. We can prove 1=2
proof: a=b
a square = ab
a sq -b sq = ab-b sq
(a-b)(a+b)=b(a-b)
a+b = b
b+b =b
2b=b
2=1
but fundamentally it is wrong

\tan θ = \frac{a}{b}, then \frac{a \sin θ + b \cos θ}{a \sin θ - b \cos θ}
