Question

Given that a/6'-4^ = Va - Vfe, find the value of a and the value of b.

Answer 1

a = (√b + 2 - √2)²

b = (√a - 2 + √2)²

Explanation:

solve for a

√(6 -4√2) = √a - √b

√(2 -√2)² = √a - √b

-√a = - √b - 2 + √2

√a = √b + 2 - √2

a = (√b + 2 - √2)²

solve for b

√(6 -4√2) = √a - √b

√(2 -√2)² = √a - √b

2 -√2 = √a - √b

√b = √a - 2 + √2

b = (√a - 2 + √2)²
