Question

$${ x }^{ 2 } + { y }^{ 2 } = { z }^{ 2 }$$

Answer

x=sqrt((z+y)*(z-y)),-sqrt((z+y)*(z-y))

Solution


Subtract \({y}^{2}\) from both sides.
\[{x}^{2}={z}^{2}-{y}^{2}\]
Use Difference of Squares: \({a}^{2}-{b}^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)\).
\[{x}^{2}=(z+y)(z-y)\]
Take the square root of both sides.
\[x=\pm \sqrt{(z+y)(z-y)}\]
