Oh... Oh dear...

That's... not true

2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9

(2^2 +3^2) = 13
(2 + 3)^2 = 5^2 = 25
13 != 25

Yeah, I guess I just don't like looking at his wildly cocked eyes.

It's ironic that I couldn't find a high-res version of this one.

I'm pretty sure that's part of the joke.

It's missing 2*abe

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)
(a+b)^2=a^2 + b^2 + 2ab

By the cancellation law

a^2 + b^2 + 2ab = a^2 + b^2

only when

2ab = 0

So either a=0 or b=0

it’s true in ℤ/2ℤ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

erm 13! ≠ 25

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

True when a and b are orthogonal.

Just use the damn Pascal's triangle!

    1                  = 1 * 1   = (a+b)^0
   1 1                 = 1a + 1b = (a+b)^1
  1 2 1                = 1a^2 + 2ab + 1b^2 = (a+b)^2
 1 3 3 1               = 1a^3 + 3(a^2)b + 3a(b^2) + 1b^3 = (a+b)^3

By the way, I have submitted maths homework that had me continue it up to layer 25. The exercise didn't explicitly state we should use the binomial formula, so why work smart when you can work hard?

(To be fair I just used WolframAlpha to get the values. Had to write down all terms still and do some calculations.)

Self explanatory

All I know is Left Add Right Subtract.

But I do have a pretty rad cannon.

(a+ib)(a-ib) = a^2 + b^2
