1. = Hints for difficult problems =

Question : If x= and y= find

Solution :

Analysing the given condition

Step 1 : = ()() => Using the formula : = ( )()

step 2 : = ( + )(-) => substitute the value of x and y

Step 3 : = x => take the L.C.M of the denominator , simplyfy using concept of addition and substaction of fraction

Step 4: = x simply the above using basic concepts of addition and substraction

Step 5 : = x

Step 6 := x => take common term 2 ( H.C.F)

Step 7 : = x

Step 8 : =

1. =hints for dificult problem=

====If x+y=a and xy=b then prove that (1+)+(1+)

Steps for solution

step 1:  * Understanding the  problem first.

* Recalling the indentities

step 2 : * consider the condition and squaring on both side * simplify to get the value

step 3: * consider LHS * multiply the expression * substitute the value * simlpify the equqtion

solution for the problem

consider x+y=a = substitute x+y =a and xy=b

then we get 
                   ------->(1)

consider xy=b squaring on both side then we get =------->(2)

consider LHS= =(1+)+(1+) =1+ = 1+ from eqn 1 & 2 = =

       LHS = RHS=============
