Question 9376: If xy=-3 and x2+ y2=12 then (x-y)2=?
note: the "2" behind the varibles mean squared. and the (x-y)2 means squared.
thanks
Dean
xy=-3
2xy=-6
x2+y2=12
x2+y2-2xy=12-2xy
(x-y)2=12-*-6
(x-y)2=12+12
(x-y)2=24

Question 11165: It's been about 2 years since I have done any math and now I'm taking college algebra but I have forgotten how to do some of the stuff. The main problem I can't figure out at the moment is: a line is vertical and passes through the point (5,2). I know that the line crosses the x-axis on the 5 but I can't figure out the slope or how to put it in the form of y=mx+b.

Question 12549: Hi, I'm having some trouble with the concept of linear operators. I think of them as functions on sets, but still can't imagine actual examples. Given the properties of linear operators, these should be simple ones (though I still haven't come up with answers), so I'm hoping you can give me some ideas to help me grasp the linear operator a bit better. Here we go! 1) I'm looking for a linear operator from V->V such that T^2=0 but T does not =0. Then, 2) Given two linear operators (say, T, U) from V-> V, I'm looking for TU=0 but UT does not =0. The generality of T and U just really throws me off for some reason. Thanks again for your time. I really appreciate it.
