((a + b)/2)^2 = (a^2 + 2ab + b^2)/4 ((a - b)/2)^2 = (a^2 - 2ab + b^2)/4 Subtract the latter from the former, and you get (2ab + 2ab)/4, which is ab. QED. P...

Not too difficult really. ((a+b)/2)^2 = (a+b)/2 * (a+b)/2 = ((a+b)^2)/4 = (a^2 +2ab + b^2)/4 and ((a-b)/2)^2= (a-b)/2 * (a-b)/2 = ((a-b)^2)/4 = (a^2 -2ab +...

Hmm. this sounds like a homework question... anyway, a hint to get you started you have ab = ((a + b)^2 - a^2 - b^2)/2 hence ab = ((a + b)^2)/2 - (a^2 + b^2)/2...

Hello Rob! Yes, this is it. You could also say 4ab = (a+b)^2 - (a-b)^2 (0) And (a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 (1) is the 1. Binomische Formel (a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab...
