If (x+y=9) and (xy=14), what is (x^2+y^2)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 53

Using the identity \((x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy\), we get \(x^2+y^2=(x+y)^2-2xy\). Therefore, \(x^2+y^2=9^2-2\times14=81-28=53\). Option 81 is only the value of \((x+y)^2\); subtracting \(2xy\) is necessary. Exam tip: when \(x+y\) and \(xy\) are given, apply this identity directly to find the sum of squares.
