Trying to figure out the answer now

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use (a-b)^2 formula

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

(8sqrtb-5)^2

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, u need to expand... wolfram WILL NOT help u this time ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use the formula :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\((a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2\)

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Damn lol cause I don't understand how to use the formula

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Where is to 2 coming from? I'm soooooooo lost!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oh if u dont wanto use the formula, there is another way

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let me show u

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

ok please do

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u might like it better than the damn formula

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I'm sure I will

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large (5 - 8\sqrt{b})^2 = (5 - 8\sqrt{b}) (5 - 8\sqrt{b}) \)

rvc (rvc):

but u should practise using formula for now its ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if u can simplify the right hand side, like u simplified in the last problem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

FOIL

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Would it be 8sqrtb^2?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets see : \(\large (\color{red}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}}) (\color{green}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}}) \) \(\large \color{red}{5 } (\color{green}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}}) - \color{red}{8\sqrt{b}}(\color{green}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}})\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fine wid wat i did in second step ?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I'm trying

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

89+16sqrt5b

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok, here is the complete solution :- \(\large (\color{red}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}}) (\color{green}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}}) \) \(\large \color{red}{5 } (\color{green}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}}) - \color{red}{8\sqrt{b}}(\color{green}{5 - 8\sqrt{b}})\) \(\large 25 - 40 \sqrt{b} - 40 \sqrt{b} + 64b\) \(\large 25 - 80 \sqrt{b} + 64b\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

let me knw if any step doesnt make sense

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

That's the final answer?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes the last line is the final answer, but you need to make sure u digest it fully -- else, these simplifications will haunt u everywhere u go, they come in almost all places !

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I'm writing it down so I can practice later.. on a time crunch now.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okie good luck

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

Thank you.. I think I understand

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

:) good to hear !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

anything is easy for u, lol u did the most difficult problems in statistics !!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to my knowledge, statistics is the hardest subject
