Question
For any two non-zero vectors, write the value of $\frac{\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2+\big|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2}{|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2}.$

Answer

We have
$\frac{\big|\vec{\text{a}}+\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2+\big|\vec{\text{a}}-\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2}{|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2}$
$=\frac{|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2+2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}+|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2-2\vec{\text{a}}.\vec{\text{b}}}{|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2}$
$=\frac{2\big(|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2\big)}{|\vec{\text{a}}|^2+\big|\vec{\text{b}}\big|^2}$
$=2$
