If (a+b)=3 and ab=2, find the value of a2+b2

so a^2 + b^2 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b) = 3

ab = 2

so

(a+b)^2 = 3^2

a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = 9

or, a^2 + 2*2 + b^2 = 9

or, a^2 + 4 + b^2 = 9

or, a^2 +b^2 = 9-4 = 5

the formula of a slope:

we have the points (-2, 7) and (2, 3). substitute:

b

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line

calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (3, - 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 3

with m = - 3 and (a, b) = (3, - 5), then

y - (- 5) = - 3(x - 3), that is

y + 5 = - 3(x - 3) → b
