Question on: JAMB Mathematics - 2006
a binary operation \(\oplus\) o the set of rational numbers is defined as x \(\oplus\) y = \(\frac{x^2 - y^2}{2xy}\). Find -5 \(\oplus\) 3
A
\(\frac{8}{15}\)
B
-\(\frac{17}{15}\)
C
\(\frac{17}{15}\)
D
\(\frac{8}{-15}\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
\(\frac{(-5)^2 - (3^2)}{2(-5)(+3)}\)
= \(\frac{25 - 9}{-30}\)
= \(\frac{16}{-30}\)
= \(\frac{8}{-15}\)
= \(\frac{25 - 9}{-30}\)
= \(\frac{16}{-30}\)
= \(\frac{8}{-15}\)
