Answer:
The answer is
18
Step-by-step explanation:
a ∆ b = a² + ab + b²
(3 ∆ 2)
a = 3 b = 2
(3 ∆ 2) = 3² +3(2) + 2²
= 9 + 5 + 4
= 9 + 9
= 18
Hope this helps you
Answer: 95
=====================================================
Work Shown:
First we compute 3 △ 2
a △ b = a^2 + ab - b^2
3 △ 2 = 3^2 + 3*2 - 2^2 ... replace 'a' with 3, replace b with 2
3 △ 2 = 9 + 6 - 4
3 △ 2 = 15 - 4
3 △ 2 = 11
Replace the ( 3 △ 2 ) in the original expression with 11.
We now want to find 11 △ 13
a △ b = a^2 + ab - b^2
11 △ 13 = 11^2 + 11*13 - 13^2
11 △ 13 = 121 + 143 - 169
11 △ 13 = 264 - 169
11 △ 13 = 95
