If b = a + cp and r = ab + \(\frac{1}{2}\)cp2, express b\(^2\) in terms of a, c, r.

a

b2 = aV + 2cr

b

b2 = ar + 2c2r

c

b2 = a2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) cr2

d

b2 = \(\frac{1}{2}\)ar2 + c

e

b2 = 2cr - a2

i think the confusion is coming from the question, that "cp² part it's supposed to be (cp)²
i myself was confused because the answers i was getting wasn't even in the options

the png show what i got when i used (cp)²

Where was the ab when u placed the value of p from equation 1 to equation 2.
And secondly the value of p is meant to be (b-a)/c to make p the subject of the formula. But the c was no where to he found while trying to eliminate p
