The identity (x^2 + y^2)^2 = (x^2 - y^2)^2 + (2xy)^2 can be used to generate Pythagorean triples. What Pythagorean triple could be generated using x = 8 and y = 3?

The triple are: 48, 55 and 73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

The Pythagorean triple

We have:

Substitute:

Hence, the triple are: 48, 55 and 73

a. 3/4 ÷ 1/8 = 6

step-by-step explanation:

in the question, the number line represents 3/4 divided into 6 equal units. each arrow represents a unit and there are a total of six arrows.

the size of each unit is 1/8 as shown.

showing that 1/8 divides 3/4 into 6 divisions:

3/4 ÷ 1/8

= 3/4 x 8/1

= 3/1 x 8/4

= 3 x 2

= 6

hence, the number line represents six divisions given by 3/4 ÷ 1/8.
