Identity V is

(a + b + c) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2  + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

 

Let us prove it

Proof :

(a + b + c) 2

= ((a + b) + c) 2

Using (x + y) 2 = x 2 + y 2 + 2xy

= (a + b) 2 + c 2 + 2(a + b)c

= (a + b) 2 + c 2 + 2ac + 2bc

Using (x + y) 2 = x 2 + y 2 + 2xy

= a 2 + b 2 + 2ab + c 2 + 2ac + 2bc

= a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2ab + 2ac + 2bc

Lets take an example

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

(2 + 3 + 4)2 = 22 + 32 + 42 + 2(2)(3) + 2(3)(4) + 2(4)(2)

(9)2 = 4 + 9 + 16 + 12 + 24 + 16

81 = 4 + 9 + 16 + 12 + 24 + 16

81 = 81
