If $a=22$ and $b=18,$ then the value of $\frac{a^2+b^2+ab}{a^3-b^3}$ is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
$a=22$ and $b=18,$ then the value of $\frac{a^2+b^2+ab}{a^3-b^3}$
We can reform this equation as, $\frac{a^2+b^2+ab}{(a^2+b^2+ab)(a - b)}$
= $\frac{1}{(a - b)}$ = $\frac{1}{(22 - 18)}$ = $\frac{1}{4}$
