Because a radical has two solutions, the positive and negative. This means that √(a2b2) has twice as many solutions as ab. ab is in fact a subset of √(a2b2).

Is a squared plus b squared the same as a plus b squared?

No. If you expand (a + b)2 you get a2 + 2ab + b2. This is not equal to a2 + b2


What does a squared plus b squared equal?

(a+b)(a+b)Also equal to a2+2ab+b2


How would you factor the polynomial a2-b2?

a2-b2 = (a-b)(a+b)


What is formula for a plus b whole square?

(A+B)2 = (A+B).(A+B) =A2+AB+BA+B2 =A2+2AB+ B2 So the Answer is A + B the whole square is equal to A square plus 2AB plus B square. Avinash.


How can you solve for A in the following expresion c2 equals radical A square plus B square?

I don't think you wanted the word "radical" in your question. Aren't you working with: C2 = A2 + B2 ? Or maybe: C = sqrt ( A2 + B2 ) ? In either case, A = sqrt ( C2 - B2 ). If your question is really the way you typed it, then the answer is more complicated.


How do you find B squared in Pythagorean theorem?

C2=A2+B2 Therefore to find B2: B2=C2-A2


The eccentricity of the ellipse if minor axis is equal to the distance between the foci is Answer is 1 radical 2 how?

The standard equation for an ellipse centered at the origin is [x2/a2] + [y2/b2] = 1 We also have the relationship, b2 = a2 - c2 where c is the distance of the foci from the centre and a & b are the half lengths of the major and minor axes respectively. When the length of the minor axis equals the distance between the two foci then 2b = 2c : b = c. Thus, a2 =b2 + c2 = 2b2 One of the formulae for the eccentricity of an ellipse is, e = √[(a2 - b2)/a2] Thus, e = √[(2b2 - b2) / 2b2] = √½ = 1/√2.


How is the expansion of algebraic expressions done?

There are 3 main rules for expansion of algebraic expressions. They are as follows: 1) a2 _ b2 = (a-b) (a+b) 2) (a+b)2 = a2 + 2ab +b2 3) (a-b)2 = a2 - 2ab +b2


How would you factor A2-B2?

(a + b)(a - b)


What is the formula for the pythagorean formula?

The square of the hypotenuse of a right triangle ("h") is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the right triangle ("a" and "b"): h2 = a2 + b2. hypotenuse is equal to square root of a2+b2.


Sum and difference of two cubes?

a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2) a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2


What is the sum and difference of two cubes?

a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2) a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
