a = 1 3 2 , b = 1 3 + 2 a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}, b = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}} a = 3 + 2 , b = 3 2 \Rightarrow a ={\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}, b = {\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}

( x + y ) 2 + ( x y ) 2 = 2 x 2 + 2 y 2 \boxed{ {\left(x + y\right)}^2 + {\left(x - y\right)}^2 = 2{x}^2 + 2{y}^2} a 2 + b 2 = 10 \Rightarrow a^2 + b^2 = 10

( x + y ) ( x y ) = x 2 y 2 \boxed{ {\left(x + y\right)\left(x - y\right) } = x^2 - y^2 } 3 a b = 3 \Rightarrow -3ab = -3

a 2 3 a b + b 2 = 7 \Rightarrow a^2 - 3ab + b^2 = \boxed7
