Open in App

Solution

a + b = 10, ab = 16

Squaring,

$(a + b)^{2} = (10)^{2} \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + 2 a b = 100 \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + 2 \times 16 = 100 \Rightarrow a^{2} + b^{2} + 32 = 100 ∴ a^{2} + b^{2} = 100 - 32 = 68 N o w, a^{2} - a b + b^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} - a b = 68 - 16 = 52 a n d a^{2} + a b + b^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} + a b = 68 + 16 = 84$
