If a = 0.1039, then the value of 4a 2 - 4a + 1 + 3a is:
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
4a 2 - 4a + 1 + 3a
= (1)2 + (2a )2 - 2 x 1 x 2a + 3a
= (1 - 2a )2 + 3a
= (1 - 2a ) + 3a
= (1 + a )
= (1 + 0.1039)
= 1.1039

3 + 1
and y =
3 - 1
, then the value of (x 2 + y 2 ) is:
3 - 1
3 + 1
Answer: Option E
Explanation:
x =
(3 + 1)

y =
(3 - 1)
x
(3 - 1)
=
(3 - 1)2
=
3 + 1 - 23
= 2 - 3 .

x 2 + y 2 = (2 + 3 )2 + (2 - 3 )2
= 2(4 + 3)
= 14
