Anyone good at math? If 5+2√3 divided by 7+4√3 = a+b √3, find the value of “a” and “b”
1. If 5+2√3
——— = a+b √3, find the value of “a” and “b”
7+4√3
2. If f(x)=x▲4 – 2x▲3 + 3x▲2 – ax + b is a polynomial such that when it is divided by x -1 and x +1, the remainders are respectively 5 and 19. Determine the values of “a” and “b”
NOTE: x▲4 means “x to the power of 4” i.e, 4 is the exponent of x. Same goes to the other numbers.

1) Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of (7+4√3), i.e. by (7-4√3). Then, by the formula (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2 you will get:
(5+2√3) (7-4√3)
——————— = 35-20√3+14√3-24 = 11 – 6√3
49 – 16(3)
So, a=11, b=6
2) f(1)=5, f(-1)=19 =>
1-2+3-a+b=5 <=> -a+b=3
and
1+2+3+a+b=19 <=> a+b=19
Solving these two equations, you obtain:
b=11, a=8

1) mutiply and divide the eq by 7- 4â3 , u get 11 – 6â3 , so a = 11 and b = -6.
2) f(1) and f(-1) should be equal to zero, so substitute x = 1 and -1 , u get 2 eq in 2 variables solve ’em.
