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