Algebra

simplifying a/b-b/a gives a^2/ab - b^2/ab = ${a^2-b^2}\over ab$ which is the first equation divided by ab...except the subtraction sign... anyone else want to solve this? right now i'm trying to find a way to solve this..

also according to wolfram alpha a/b-b/a = $\pm 2\sqrt{3}$

hmm

$a^2+2ab+b^2=6ab\\ (a+b)^2=6ab\\ a+b=\sqrt{6ab}\\ a^2-2ab+b^2=2ab\\ (a-b)^2=2ab\\ a-b=\sqrt{2ab}$

So

 $\frac{a^2-b^2}{ab}\\ =\frac{\sqrt{6ab}\cdot\sqrt{2ab}}{ab}\\ =\sqrt{12}\cdot\frac{ab}{ab}\\ =2\sqrt{3}$

(notice that a and b are both positive so the answer must be positive)

Also, this question was asked quite a while ago:
