| (469 + 174)2 - (469 - 174)2 | = ? |
| (469 x 174) |
Answer: Option
Explanation:
| Given exp. = | (a + b)2 - (a - b)2 |
| ab |
| = | 4ab |
| ab |

Its very simple.
Its formula,
[(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2]/ab.
[(a^2+b^2+2ab)-(a^2+b^2-2ab)]/ab.
[a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab]/ab.
From here a^2-a^2 = 0, b^2-b^2 = 0, and 2ab+2ab = 4ab.
4ab/ab.
Now divide ab/ab i.e 1.
so 4*1 = 4.

It's simple yar.
(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2/ab its actual formula.
By solving (a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2 and (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2.
By substituting in the above formula we can easily get answer ok its very simple yar.

Formula is a^2-b^2 = (a+b)(a-b).
Here a= 469+174,b = 469-174.
Substitute in formula:
= (469+174+469-174)(469+174-469+174)/469*174.
= 2*469*2*174/469*174,
= 4*469*174/469*174,
= 4.
Here a= 469+174,b = 469-174.
Substitute in formula:
= (469+174+469-174)(469+174-469+174)/469*174.
= 2*469*2*174/469*174,
= 4*469*174/469*174,
= 4.

We can also do it directly using (a+b) ^2 formula. And a-b^2 formula.
Taking 469*174 common. Then it gets divided by the denominator. After solving brackets. We get 4.

=[(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2]/ab
=[(a2+b2+2ab)-(a2-b2-2ab)]/ab
=4ab/ab,
where as a^2 and b^2 will get cancelled as both are in oppoaite signs
=4
=[(a2+b2+2ab)-(a2-b2-2ab)]/ab
=4ab/ab,
where as a^2 and b^2 will get cancelled as both are in oppoaite signs
=4

I did not come to know how 4ab has come as a answer so kindly send me the suggestion where I get answer.
