Answer:

Three: x = 400

Four : 9

Explanation:

Three

a = 10*√2

2a = √(2x) Square both sides.

4a^2 = 2x Divide both sides by 2

2a^2 = x Put a = 10√2 into a^2

2(10√2)^2 = x Square a

2(100*2) = x Multiply the result by 2.

2(200) = x

x = 400

Four

x^(a^2) / x ^(b^2) = x^36

Substitute a + b = 4 in for b.

x^(a^2) / x^(4 - a)^2 = x^36

Subtract powers

x^(a^2 - (4 - a)^2 = x^36

x^(a^2 - (16 - 8a + a^2) = x^36

Gather like terms

x^(8a - 16) = x^36

The powers are now equal

8a - 16 = 36

Add 16 to both sides

8a = 36 + 16

8a = 52

Divide by 8

a = 6.5

Solve for b

a + b = 4

6.5 + b = 4

b = 4 - 6.5

b = - 2.5

a - b = 6.5 - (- 2.5) = 9
