Answer:


(5y + 1)^(2) - (2(y - 1))^(2)

Explanation:

1) Rewrite it in the form a² - b², where a = 5y + 1 and b = 2(y - 1 ).


(5y + 1) ^(2) - (2(y - 1)) ^(2)

2) Use multiplication Distributive Property: (xy)^a = x^a y^a.


(5y + 1)^(2) - {2}^(2) (y - 1 {)}^(2)

3) Simplify 2² to 4.


(5y + 1 {)}^(2) - 4(y - 1 {)}^(2)

4) Rewrite it in the form a² - b², where a = 5y + 1 and b = 2(y-1).


(5y + 1 {)}^(2) - (2(y - 1))^(2)

Therefor, the answer is ( 5y + 1 )² - (2( y - 1 ))².
