2-11-09 eExpress as sum of squares.

Express [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?(x^2+a^2)(y^2+b^2)(z^2+c^2)[/im] as a sum of two squares

Re: 2-11-09 eExpress as sum of squares.

One way to go is via complex numbers.
Hint: Take z[ss]1[/ss] = x + ia, z[ss]2[/ss] = y + ib, z[ss]3[/ss] = z+ic
And use the fact that
|z[ss]1[/ss] z[ss]2[/ss] z[ss]3[/ss]| = |z[ss]1[/ss]| |z[ss]2[/ss]| |z[ss]3[/ss]|
