Question

If a +b+c= 12 and a² + b2 + c = 64, find the value of ab + bc + ac.​

Answer 1

We know a Algebraic Identity :

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

Substitute The Values

⇒ 12² = 64 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ac

⇒ 12² = 64 + 2(ab + bc + ac)

⇒ 144 = 64 + 2(ab + bc + ac)

Subtracting 64 from Both Sides

⇒ 144 - 64 = 64 + 2(ab + bc + ac) - 64

⇒ 80 = 2(ab + bc + ac)

Dividing Both Sides by 2

⇒ 80/2 = [2(ab + bc + ac)]/2

⇒ 40 = ab + bc + ac
