Question

When you square each side of an equation, is the resulting equation equivalent to the original?

Answer 1

yes it is equivalent to the original question.

Answer 2

No. That would be False.

Squaring different numbers increases it exponentially, not proportionally.

For example:

1 + 2 = 3


`1 ^(2) + 2^(2) \\eq 3^(2)`


`1 ^(2) +2 ^(2) =5`

`3^(2) =9`

I hope this helped!! :D
