If\[{\sqrt{(x+a)}+(a+1)\sqrt{x-a} \over a}={(2-p)+\sqrt{p(p+2a)}\over \sqrt{p+2a}-\sqrt{p}}\] then which of the following is the relation btw 'x' & p for \[a \neq0\]:

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

(a) x=p (b) p=x+a (c) x=p+a (d) none of these.

c

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Ya! the answer is c. but how did u do it???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply sqrt(P+2a)-sqrt(p) by its conjugate on the right hand side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You must multiply BOTH the top and the bottom of the fraction by conjugate of that then simplify

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Do u mean cross multiply??

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

@mukushla

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no..no we just want to simplify the right hand side

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

I couldn't understand wht u mean to say plz give me full sol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Do u mean a+sqrt b / a-sqrtb*a+sqrtb / a+sqrtb???

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

Where?
