The two numbers are \( a \) and \( b \). Here \( a>b \). The Sum of two numbers is 12 and the product is 32 . A. Multiply with the help of formulae : \( (2 x+3)(2 x-7) \) B. Find out the value of \( 2 a^{2}+2 b^{2} \). C. Prove that, \( (a+2 b)^{2}-5 b^{2}=176 \)

To solve the problem, we start by figuring out the values of \( a \) and \( b \). We know: 1. \( a + b = 12 \) 2. \( a \cdot b = 32 \) Using these equations, we can create a quadratic equation. Let \( x = a \) and \( y = b \). The quadratic can be expressed as: \[ x^2 - (a+b)x + ab = 0 \] Substituting the known values: \[ x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0 \] Now, we can use the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144 - 128}}{2} = \frac{12 \pm 4}{2} \] So, we have: \[ x = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] Thus, \( a = 8 \) and \( b = 4 \). Now let's calculate \( 2a^2 + 2b^2 \): \[ 2a^2 + 2b^2 = 2(8^2) + 2(4^2) = 2(64) + 2(16) = 128 + 32 = 160 \] Next, we need to prove that \( (a + 2b)^2 - 5b^2 = 176 \): Calculating \( a + 2b \): \[ a + 2b = 8 + 2(4) = 8 + 8 = 16 \] Now, substituting this into our proof statement: \[ (16)^2 - 5(4^2) = 256 - 5(16) = 256 - 80 = 176 \] Thus, the equation holds true.
