Simplify \(\left(1\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2\)
\(2\frac{1}{3}\)
\(1\frac{1}{3}\)
1
\(\frac{3}{7}\)
ব্যাখ্যা
\(\left(1\frac{2}{3}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2=\left(\frac{5}{3}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^2\)
Difference of two squares
\(\left(\frac{5}{3}-\frac{2}{3}\right)\left(\frac{5}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{3}\right)\left(\frac{7}{3}\right)\\
\frac{7}{3}=2\frac{1}{3}\)
Difference of two squares
\(\left(\frac{5}{3}-\frac{2}{3}\right)\left(\frac{5}{3}+\frac{2}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{3}\right)\left(\frac{7}{3}\right)\\
\frac{7}{3}=2\frac{1}{3}\)
