How to solve (2x+y)(2x-y)

1. Factor the equation (x + 2)(x + 3) = 0. 2. Set each factor equal to zero: x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. 3. Solve for x: x = -2 and x = -3.

Question

$$(2x+y)(2x-y)$$

Evaluate

$4x^{2}-y^{2}$

Solution Steps

Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: $\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}$.

$$\left(2x\right)^{2}-y^{2}$$

Expand $\left(2x\right)^{2}$.

$$2^{2}x^{2}-y^{2}$$

Calculate $2$ to the power of $2$ and get $4$.

$$4x^{2}-y^{2}$$
