if (a+b)^2=54, and (a-b)^=46, then a^2+b^2=?

Sagot :

[tex](a+b)^2 =a^2 +b^2 + 2ab = 54~~~.....(i)\\\\(a-b)^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab = 46~~~.....(i)\\\\\\(i)+(ii):\\\\(a+b)^2 +(a-b)^2 = 54+46\\\\\implies a^2 +b^2 + 2ab + a^2 +b^2 - 2ab =100\\\\\implies 2a^2 +2b^2 =100\\\\ \\\implies 2(a^2 +b^2) =100\\\\\implies a^2 +b^2 = \dfrac{100}2 = 50[/tex]
