Question

Prove the polynomial identity. (2x−1)2+2(2x−1)=(2x+1)(2x−1) Drag and drop the expressions to correctly complete the proof of the polynomial identity. (2x−1)2+2(2x−1)=(2x+1)(2x−1) Response area+4x−2=(2x+1)(2x−1) Response area=(2x+1)(2x−1) Response area=(2x+1)(2x−1)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

(2x - 1)² + 2(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

To prove this identity we will take the left hand side of the equation and will prove equal to the right side.

(2x - 1)² + 2(2x - 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

4x² - 4x + 1 + 4x - 2 = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

4x² - 1 = (2x - 1)(2x + 1)

(2x - 1)(2x + 1) = (2x - 1)(2x + 1) [Since a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)]
