Quick Algebra help Will fan and medal question to come

OpenStudy (crashonce):

\[a^2+b^2=2h^2+d^2+e^2\] \[d+e=c\] Prove \[a+b < c+h\]

OpenStudy (crashonce):

@ganeshie8 @ikram002p

OpenStudy (larseighner):

Well it appears to me \[0 < 2h^2+d^2+e^2, a,b \in \mathbb{R} \]

OpenStudy (crashonce):

can you guys make it a litte easire? im only a high school junior

OpenStudy (larseighner):

For the real numbers, a square must be positive, so the sum of two squares must be a positive number, so something equal to the sum of two squares must be greater than zero.

OpenStudy (crashonce):

yea i get that i just cant simplify the simultaneous equation to solve for the final target

OpenStudy (larseighner):

\[d+e=c \iff e = c - d \] so \[e^2 = (c-d)^2 = c^2 -2cd + d^2 \]

OpenStudy (larseighner):

oops. \[d^2 + e^2= c^2 - 2cd + 2d^2\]

OpenStudy (crashonce):

ok then

OpenStudy (larseighner):

\[0 < 2h^2+ c^2 - 2cd + 2d^2\]

OpenStudy (crashonce):

could you write our a procedure? @LarsEighner because i have some other work and will come back later thanks

OpenStudy (crashonce):

@LarsEighner is there any quick way to do this?

OpenStudy (larseighner):

Hm. I think we want to go back. \[a^2+b^2=2h^2+d^2+e^2\] \[ e^2 = (c-d)^2\] \[d^2 = (c - e)^2\] \[a^2+b^2=2h^2+(c^2 -2ce + e^2)+(c^2 -2cd + d^2)\] \[a^2+b^2=2h^2+ d^2 + e^2 + (c^2 -2ce)+(c^2 -2cd)\] I'm not finding one.

OpenStudy (crashonce):

ok thanks for your help!

\[\large \begin{align} (a+b)^2 &= a^2+b^2+2ab \\ &= 2h^2+d^2+e^2+2ab \\ &= 2h^2 + (d+e)^2 + 2ab-2de \\ &= 2h^2 + c^2 + 2ab-2de\\ &= (h+c)^2 +h^2+ 2ab - 2de-2hc \end{align} \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

from where you got this problem ?

OpenStudy (crashonce):

from some test paper

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

cool :D
