A+b=10 and ab=4 find a2+b2

Answer»

GIVEN:

The value of a + b = 10

The value of ab = 4

TO FIND:

The value of a² + b²

SOLUTION:

Squaring on both sides

=> (a + b)² = (10)²

We know that,

(a + b)² = a² + b² + 2ab

(10)² = a² + b² + 2(ab)

Substitute the value of ab

100 = a² + b² + 2(4)

100 = a² + b² + 8

=> a² + b² = 100 - 8

=> a² + b² = 92

Therefore, the value of a² + b² is 92.
