solve the equation ax upon b-bx upon a =a^2-b^2
Answers
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
(a*x/b)-(b*x/a)-(((a+b)^2)/a*b)=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
(a + b)2
Simplify ————————
a
Equation at the end of step 1 :
x x (a+b)2
((a•—)-(b•—))-(——————•b) = 0
b a a
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
x x b•(a+b)2
((a•—)-(b•—))-———————— = 0
b a a
Step 3 :
x
Simplify —
a
Equation at the end of step 3 :
x x b•(a+b)2
((a•—)-(b•—))-———————— = 0
b a a
Step 4 :
x
Simplify —
b
Equation at the end of step 4 :
x xb b • (a + b)2
((a • —) - ——) - ———————————— = 0
b a a
Step 5 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
5.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : b
The right denominator is : a
Number of times each Algebraic Factor
appears in the factorization of: Algebraic
Factor Left
Denominator Right
Denominator L.C.M = Max
{Left,Right}
a 0 1 1
b 1 0 1
Least Common Multiple:
ab
Calculating Multipliers :
5.2 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions
Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M
Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M
Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M
Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno
Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno
Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = a
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = b
Making Equivalent Fractions :
5.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.
For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.
To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.
L. Mult. • L. Num. ax • a
—————————————————— = ——————
L.C.M ab
R. Mult. • R. Num. xb • b
—————————————————— = ——————
L.C.M ab
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
5.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
ax • a - (xb • b) a2x - xb2
————————————————— = —————————
ab ab
Equation at the end of step 5 :
(a2x - xb2) b • (a + b)2
——————————— - ———————————— = 0
ab a
Step 6 :
Step 7 :
Pulling out like terms :
7.1 Pull out like factors :
a2x - xb2 = x • (a2 - b2)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
7.2 Factoring: a2 - b2
Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B) • (A-B)
Proof : (A+B) • (A-B) =
A2 - AB + BA - B2 =
A2 - AB + AB - B2 =
A2 - B2
Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.
Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.
Check : a2 is the square of a1
Check : b2 is the square of b1
Required Answer:-
Given:
To Find:
- The value of x.
Solution:
We have,
LCM of a and b is ab. Therefore,
Taking x as common in numerator part, we get,
Now, cancel out a² - b² from both sides,
★ Hence, the value of x is ab (x = ab)
Answer:
- x = ab
