Hello! At http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopfrechnen#Rechentricks it is stated that one can derive the Quarter Squares-Rule by transforming the Binomials 1. (a +...
((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...

Thank's for your reply, Scott. I see. It is the proof that the Quarter Squares-Rule produces the result ab. Do you see also how one can derive the identity by...

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...
