The question can be factorised in the following manner :-\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (c + 3)^2 - 49\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(c + 3)^2 - 7^2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now using the formula that a^2 - b^2 = (a + b) (a - b)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(c + 3 + 7) (c + 3 - 7) \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we get (c + 3 + 7) = 0 \n" ); document.write( " c + 10 = 0 \n" ); document.write( " c = -10\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (c + 3 - 7) = 0 \n" ); document.write( " c - 4 = 0 \n" ); document.write( " c = 4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hope this is clear to you.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In case you want to learn more about the topic, please do write to me at kapoorjai1@rediffmail.com \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I am avaliable for online tutoring.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
