Question 1 Report

Simplify \( (\sqrt{6}+2)^2-(\sqrt{6}-2)^2 \)

Answer Details
We can simplify the given expression using the identity: (a + b)^2 - (a - b)^2 = 4ab where a = √6 and b = 2. Substituting these values, we get: (√6 + 2)^2 - (√6 - 2)^2 = 4(√6 × 2) Simplifying further: (√6 + 2)^2 - (√6 - 2)^2 = 8√6 Therefore, the simplified form of the expression (√6+2)2−(√6−2)2 is 8√6.
