If a = 0.1039, then the value of 4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a is:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
4a2 - 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

Your ans is right. But according to KRISHNA ,the sqrt of (2a-1)^2 is +(2a-1) and -(2a-1).so if we choose -(2a-1) then we get
-(2a-1)+3a=-2a+1+3a
=a+1
=.1039+1=1.1039 (ans)
So, this is the technique to SATISFY the option, that has given in the question.
-(2a-1)+3a=-2a+1+3a
=a+1
=.1039+1=1.1039 (ans)
So, this is the technique to SATISFY the option, that has given in the question.
