Hi,

I am trying to find the coefficients d,e,f of this simple equating:

ax^2+bxy+cy^2=d(x+y)^2+e(x-y)^2+f(x^2-y^2)

I mean I am waiting for this type of solution:

d=(a-b+c)/2
e=b/2
f=(a-c)/2

so how can I get these constants?

I searched it and tried to use Solve, Expand...but either they dont give it or they solve it in terms of all terms (a,b,c,x,y).

Thanks a lot
