1. Problem Description
The problem has three parts:
(a) Factorize completely .
(b) Express as a single fraction in its simplest form.
(c) Solve the simultaneous equations: and .
2. Solution Steps
(a) Factorizing :
We can factor out the common factor from both terms.
.
Alternatively, if represents radius, it should be . In that case, we factor out :
.
Given the prompt, it looks like the intended question was .
(b) Expressing as a single fraction:
To subtract the two fractions, we need a common denominator, which is .
(c) Solving the simultaneous equations:
(1)
(2)
From equation (2), we can express in terms of : .
Substitute this into equation (1):
Now, substitute into the equation :
So, the solution is and .
3. Final Answer
(a)
(b)
x = 2
y = 3
