The Pythagorean triple (5, 12, 13) can't be generated from the identity (x? 1)2 + (2x)2 = (x2 + 1) which has only one variable, because the length of the hypotenuse (13 units) and the length of the longer
of the other two legs (12 units) are not 2 units apart.
Find a two-variable identity by incorporating a second variable, y, into the single-variable identity. Note
that x > 1, x > y, and x and y are positive integers.
Select the correct answer.

  A.  (x² -y²)² +(2xy)² = (x² +y²)²

Step-by-step explanation:

As is often the case with problems like this, the correct answer (A) is the only answer that is actually a true equation.

Choices B, C, D are only true if x or y is zero--a violation of the given condition that they are positive integers.

on monday rodney ate 1/4th of the sandwich = 3/12

on tuesday he ate 1/3rd of the sandwich = 4/12

therefore in total he has eaten = 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12

thus we can say that he has eaten 7/12 of the sandwich on monday and tuesday alltogether.
