If p + q= 12 and pq=22, then find p2+q2. p2 = p square

q2 = q square

(Don't get confused)

p+q = 12

Squaring both the sides

(p+q)^2 = 12^2

p2 + q2 + 2pq = 144

p2 + q2 + 2x 22 = 144

p2 + q2 = 144 - 44

p2 + q2 = 100

q2=

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for p^2+q^2p

is

p^2+q^2 = (p+q)^2 -2pqp

−2pq

the answer is:

the correct option:

b.

to solve the problem, we need to remember how to operate to simplify exponential expressions using the logarithms.

we are given the equation:

then, using placing logarith with base 7 on both sides of the equation, we have:

so, rounding the obtained result to two decimal places (nearest hundreth), we have:

hence, we have that the correct option:

b.

have a nice day!
