Algebraic Identity Solution
We need to find the value of $(a - b)^{2}$ given the equations $ab = 10$ and $a^{2} + b^{2} = 29$.
Using the Algebraic Identity
Recall the algebraic identity for the square of a difference:
$ (a - b)^{2} = a^{2} - 2ab + b^{2} $
This can be rearranged as:
$ (a - b)^{2} = (a^{2} + b^{2}) - 2ab $
Substituting Given Values
We are given:
- $a^{2} + b^{2} = 29$
- $ab = 10$
Substitute these values into the identity:
$ (a - b)^{2} = (29) - 2(10) $
Calculating the Result
Perform the subtraction:
$ (a - b)^{2} = 29 - 20 $
$ (a - b)^{2} = 9 $
Therefore, the value of $(a - b)^{2}$ is 9.
