Options

- Bx y x^2+y^2
- C2 x y y^2-x^2
- Dx y y^2-x^2
Correct answer
A. 2 x y x^2+y^2
Step-by-step solution
Given: A + B = x and A + B = y . Apply sum-to-product identities: A + B = 2 ( A+B 2 ) ( A-B 2 ) = x A + B = 2 ( A+B 2 ) ( A-B 2 ) = y Dividing these equations (assuming ( A-B 2 ) eq 0 ): ( A+B 2 ) = x y Using the tangent half-angle identity for sine: (A+B) = 2 ( A+B 2 ) 1 + ^2 ( A+B 2 ) = 2(x/y) 1 + (x/y)^2 Simplify: (A+B) = 2x/y (x^2 + y^2)/y^2 = 2x y y^2 x^2 + y^2 = 2xy x^2 + y^2 Result: 2xy x^2+y^2
