Question

Simplify (x^2+3)^2-(x^2-1)^2

Answer 1

8(x^2 +1)

Explanation:

(x^2 + 3)^2 - (x^2 - 1)^2

(x^2 + 3 - (x^2-1)) • (x^2 + 3 + (x^2 - 1))

(x^2 + 3 - x^2 + 1) • (x^2 + 3 + (x^2 - 1)

(3 + 1) • (x^2 + 3 + x^2 - 1)

4(2x^2 + 1)

4 • 2(x^2 + 1)

8(x^2 +1)

Answer 2

Simplify the expression.

8x² + 8
