consider
(A2 +B2)(A-B) = A3-B3-A2B+B2A = O
ie Δ(A2+B2) or Δ(A-B) is 0
when Δ(A2+B2) =0 , not invertible

now if Δ(A-B) is 0 automatically Δ(A2+B2) is also 0

hence its never invertible

reason:

(A-B)2 = A2 + B2

reason:

(A-B)2 = A2 + B2 - AB - BA

But you din prove that

AB-BA=0

does that need a proof ?????

AB= -BA ie AB+BA=0

see carefully why do i need to prove
AB-BA=0

o yeah b555 that was a typo thats not affecting the end result thanks edited

but b555 in wat uve uploaded u cant just like that say A-B ≠O hence A2+B2 not invertible

what if Δ(A2+B2)≠0 u need to prove they r always 0
