$\boxed{ a^2 b^2 + -a^2 + -b^2 + 1 + 4ab}$

Let's simplify step-by-step.

$( a^2 - 1 ) ( b^2 -1) + 4ab$

Distribute:

$=( a^2) (b^2) + (a^2) (-1) + ( -1) (b^2) + (-1) (-1) + 4ab$

$= a^2 b^2 + -a^2 + -b^2 + 1 + 4ab$

Answer 2

Answer:

a²b² - a² - b² + 4ab + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

( a²- 1) ( b²- 1) + 4ab

(a²b² - a² - b² + 1) + 4ab

a²b² - a² - b² + 4ab + 1
