If x + y = z , then what is the value of ( x - y )^2 ?
Options
- Ax^2+y^2-z^2
- Bx^2-y^2-z^2
- Cx^2-y^2+z^2
- Dx^2+y^2+z^2
Correct answer
A. x^2+y^2-z^2
Step-by-step solution
Here, z=x +y aligned & z^2=x^2 ^2 +y^2 ^2 +2 x y & 2 x y =z^2-x^2 ^2 -y^2 ^2 aligned Let, L=(x -y )^2 aligned & L=x^2 ^2 +y^2 ^2 -2 x y & L=x^2 ^2 +y^2 ^2 - [z^2-x^2 ^2 -y^2 ^2 ] & L=x^2 [ ^2 + ^2 ]+y^2 [ ^2 + ^2 ]-z^2 & L=x^2+y^2-z^2 aligned
