Homework Statement
So I am trying to make the triple quad formula: (Q1+Q2-Q3)2 = 4Q1Q2
into the symetric version: (Q1+Q2+Q3)2 = 2(Q12 + Q22 + Q32)
Homework Equations
(Q1+Q2-Q3)2 = 4Q1Q2
(Q1+Q2+Q3)2 = 2(Q12 + Q22 + Q32)
The Attempt at a Solution
I get the equation into the form: Q12+Q22+Q32 = 2(Q1Q2+Q1Q3+Q2Q3)
Then any substitutions I do I go back in circles. I attempted to square both sides but no cigar.
Any advice would be appreciated
