A binary operation ∆ is defined on the set of real numbers R, by x∆y = \(\sqrt{x+y - \frac{xy}{4}}\), where x, yER. Find the value of 4∆3

A.

16

B.

8

C.

4

D.

2

Correct answer is D

x∆y = \(\sqrt{x+y - \frac{xy}{4}}\)

4∆3 = \(\sqrt{4+3 - \frac{4*3}{4}}\) 

= \(\sqrt{4+3-3}\)

= \(\sqrt{4}\)

= 2.
