For all real numbers a and b, 2a • b = a2 + b2 True Or False ! Explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it a^2 or a2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2

OpenStudy (esshotwired):

I believe it is false. If you try and plug in any two real numbers that are not the same, the equation will not be true. Hope this helped!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's false. 2a*b = 2ab and a^2+b^2 cannot be added...
