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

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

it’s true in ℤ/2ℤ

(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

erm 13! ≠ 25

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 1 year 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
