Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a = 4 and b = 2, what is the value of a^2 + b^2? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the values of a and b. Here, a = 4 and b = 2.
  • Step 2: Calculate a squared (a^2). This means multiplying a by itself: 4 * 4 = 16.
  • Step 3: Calculate b squared (b^2). This means multiplying b by itself: 2 * 2 = 4.
  • Step 4: Add the results from Step 2 and Step 3 together: 16 + 4 = 20.
