SolutionShow Solution

The value of (a + b)2 – (a – b)2 is 4ab.

Explanation:

We have,

(a + b)2 – (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab – (a2 + b2 – 2ab) ...[∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab and (a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab]

= a2 + b2 + 2ab – a2 – b2 + 2ab

= a2 – a2 + b2 – b2 + 2ab + 2ab

= 2ab + 2ab ...[Combining the like terms]

= 4ab
