X & # 178; + Y & # 178; = 9, x + y = 4, find the value of XY

X & # 178; + Y & # 178; = 9, x + y = 4, find the value of XY

Because x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 + 2xy-2xy = (x + y) ^ 2-2xy = 9
x+y=4
So the formula is 4 ^ 2-2xy = 16-2xy = 9
So 2XY = 7
xy=7/2
We should use the complete square formula and think more about it
