If 5x-11y = 2x+5y, then find the value of 3x² + 2y² : 3x² - 2y²

First of all, let's focus on the first condition given by the ennunciation, namely 5x-11y = 2x+5y.


We'll group the term in "x" into the left side of the equal and the terms in "y" into the right side and we'll do the math:


5x-2x = 11y+5y


3x=16y


For the moment, let's stop in this point of action.


Now,l let's focus on the exression which we have to calculate:


(3x² + 2y²) : (3x² - 2y²)


The expression at numerator, (3x² + 2y²), we could re-write it in this way:


(3x² + 2y²)= (3x + 2y)² - 2*3x*2y


The expression at denominator, (3x² - 2y²), is a difference ofsquares and it could be written as:


(3x² - 2y²)= (3x - 2y)*(3x + 2y)


Now, let's put together the found expressions:


(3x² + 2y²) : (3x² - 2y²)= [(3x + 2y)² - 2*3x*2y]/(3x - 2y)*(3x + 2y)


In the end, let's turn back at the found condition:


3x=16y


We'll apply some tricks on this condition, depending on the last form of the expression which we have to calculate:


3x=16y


3x + 2y=16y+2y


3x + 2y=18y


3x - 2y=16y-2y


3x - 2y=14y


Now, all we have to do is to substitute the calculated expressions above, into our expression:


[(3x + 2y)² - 2*3x*2y]/(3x - 2y)*(3x + 2y)=[(18y)²- 2*16y*2y]/(14y)*(18y)


[(18y)²- 2*16y*2y]/(14y)*(18y)=[(18y)²-2²*4²*y²]/14*18*y²=


But, at the numerator we have again a difference of squares:


[(18y)²-2²*4²*y²]=(18y-8y)(18y+8y)=10y*26y


[(18y)²-2²*4²*y²]/14*18*y²=10y*26y/14*18*y²


10y*26y/14*18*y²=2*5*2*13*y²/2*7*2*9*y²


After simplifying:


3x² + 2y² : 3x² - 2y²=65/63

Discuss at least two characteristics of Romanticism in John Keat's poem "Ode toa Nightingale".

The poet in Ode To A Nightingale  is an escapist .He escapes through imagination .On his way the bower of the bliss wher the nightingale is ...
