Download Solution PDFGiven:
\( \frac{x^2-y^2-z^2-2 y z}{x^2+y^2-z^2+2 x y}\) + \(\frac{x^2-y^2-z^2-2 y z}{x^2-y^2+z^2-2 x z}\)
Formula Used:
1. (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
2. (a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
3. (a2 - b2) = (a - b)(a + b)
Calculation:
\( \frac{x^2-y^2-z^2-2 y z}{x^2+y^2-z^2+2 x y}\) + \(\frac{x^2-y^2-z^2-2 y z}{x^2-y^2+z^2-2 x z}\)
⇒ \( \frac{x^2-(y^2+z^2+2 y z)}{(x^2+y^2+2 x y)-z^2}\) + \(\frac{x^2-(y^2+z^2+2 y z)}{(x^2+z^2-2 x z)-y^2}\)
By using the identity (1) & (2)
⇒ \( \frac{x^2-(y+z)^2}{(x+y)^2-(z)^2}\) + \(\frac{x^2-(y+z)^2}{(x-z)^2- (y)^2}\)
By using the identity 3)
⇒\(\frac{(x + y + z)(x-y-z)}{(x+y-z)(x+y+z)}\) + \(\frac{(x-y-z)(x+y+z)}{(x-z+y)(x-y-z)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{(x-y-z)}{(x+y-z)}\) + \(\frac{(x+y+z)}{(x-z+y)}\)
⇒ \(\frac{x-y-z+x+y+z}{x+y-z}\)= \(\frac{2x}{x+y-z}\)
∴ The correct answer is \(\frac{2x}{x+y-z}\).
