Question

Subtract the sum of a^2 − 2ab + b^2 and 2a^2 + 2ab + b^2 from the sum of a^2 − b^2 and a^2 + ab + 3b^2

Answer 1

-a^2 + ab

Explanation:

(a^2 - 2ab +b^2) + (2a^2 + 2ab + b2) = 3a^2 + 2b^2

(a^2 - b^2) + (a^2 + ab + 3b^2) = 2a^2 + 2b^2 + ab

subtract the first part from the second part:

(2a^2 + 2b^2 + ab) - (3a^2 + 2b^2) = -a^2 + ab
