Answer:

  • See attached

Explanation:

The proof is attached

The first line is according to the identity:

  • (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², where a = x² and b = y²

The second line is simplification where y⁴ cancels and 2x²y² doubles.

The third line is about taking the common factor of x² and factorizing.
