we know that (a^2-b^2)= (a-b)(a+b) .. similarly (2^12-2^6)=(2^6-2^3)(2^6+2^3) ...magical cook wrote:Hi,
The answer to this question is A but I just wonder what if the equation is (2^12+2^6)/(2^6-2^3) or (2^12-2^6)/(2^6+2^3)? (+ and - is mixed case..)
Can anyone help me understand?
Thanks!
..So when u divide the expression (2^12-2^6) by (2^6-2^3) the answer is (2^6+2^3) ..
.. and if we divide the expression (2^12-2^6) by (2^6+2^3) .. the answer will be (2^6-2^3)
.. now, it wont be as easy with (2^12+2^6) bcoz this expression doesnt have a set formula that will help us get the answer directly ... but it still can be solved using a combination of formulas and long division method ...
