the garden is grassed over. The area covered by grass is 188 square metres.
Find the area of the pond. (5 marks) Answered by Penny Nom.
From Anne: Se x e y são números reais distintos, então:
a) (x^2 + y^2) / (x - y) = x + y
b) (x^2 + y^2) / (x - y) = x - y
c) (x^2 - y^2) / (x - y) = x + y
d) (x^2 - y^2) / (x - y) = x - y
e) Nenhuma das alternativas anteriores é verdadeira. Answered by Harley Weston.

From Joe: I am in the eighth grade, and we are learning the equivalent of Algebra 2. I have no ides how to factor (x-2)(x^2-1)-6x-6 You help is most aprreciated. Thank you! Joe Answered by Stephen La Rocque.
Problem: (I will give it to you in words beacuse I don't know how to do exponents on the computer.)
Forty-five r to the 2n power minus five s to the 4n power.
I was hoping you could walk me through it not just give me the answer.
From Bruno-Pierre: I noticed the other day that if you substract two consecutive squared positive numbers, you end up with the same result as if you add up the two numbers.
Ex. 5 and 6 (2 consecutive positive numbers) 52 = 25 62 = 36 36 - 25 = 11 (Substraction of the squared numbers) 5 + 6 = 11 (Sum of the numbers)
A more algebric view: a2 - b2 = a + b where a and b are consecutive positive positive numbers. (b = a + 1)
I wondered if this rule had a name, and who discovered it.
