If m : n = 5 : 4 then what is the value of (m2 + n2) : (m2 − n2) ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
If m : n = 5 : 4
then what is the value of (m2 + n2) : (m2 − n2) ?
Put the value of m and n in the required equation,
(m2 + n2) : (m2 − n2)
= (52 + 42) : (52 − 42)
= (25 + 16 ) : (25 - 16)
= 41 : 9
