Question

If p=xy,q=yz and r=zr, simplify r2p2+2pqq2

Open in App
Solution

We know that (ab)2=a2+b22ab

It is given that p=xy, q=yz and r=zx and calculate r2p2+2pqq2 using above identity as shown below:

r2p2+2pqq2=(zx)2(xy)2+2(xy)(yz)(yz)2
=z2+x22zx(x2+y22xy)+2(xyy2xz+yz)(y2+z22yz)
=z2+x22xzx2y2+2xy+2xy2y22xz+2yzy2z2+2yz=4xy4xz+4yz4y2
=4(xyxz+yzy2)=4[x(yz)y(yz)]=4(xy)(yz)=4pq

Hence, r2p2+2pqq2=4pq
