Given that point A is a fixed point on the circle O:x2+y2=4, and point B is a moving point on circle O. If it satisfies ∣AO+BO∣=∣AO−BO∣, then AO⋅AB=4.

Analysis
This question examines the square of a vector being equal to the square of its magnitude and involves the operation of the dot product of vectors, making it a medium-level question.
From ∣AO+BO∣=∣AO−BO∣, we can deduce that AO⋅BO=0, which means AO\perpendicularBO. Therefore, △AOB is an isosceles right triangle with side length 2, from which we can derive the result.
Solution
Given ∣AO+BO∣=∣AO−BO∣⇒(AO+BO)2=(AO−BO)2⇒AO⋅BO=0,
∴AO\perpendicularBO, ∴△AOB is an isosceles right triangle with side length 2,
Thus, AO⋅AB=∣AO∣∣AB∣cos45∘=2×22×22=4. Therefore, the answer is 4.
