The assessment for this lesson is a discussion of a mathematical statement. You have to determine if the statement is true or false. If it is false, you explain your reasoning.
1.) For all real numbers a and b, 2a • b = a2 + b2
This cannot be factored anymore although. when we try to substitute a with 5 and b with 2, the answer in the right hand side of the equation is -9. That's why it's false.
