Answer:

(B) -4

Step-by-step explanation:

so, do the multiplications and see :

(a - 1/a)² = a² - 2×a/a + 1/a² = a² - 2 + 1/a²

(a + 1/a)² = a² + 2×a/a + 1/a² = a² + 2 + 1/a²

now we need to subtract the second from the first :

(a² - 2 + 1/a²) - (a² + 2 + 1/a²) =

= a² - 2 + 1/a² - a² - 2 - 1/a² = -4

and that's it !
