Derive $(x - y)^{2} = (x + y)^{2} - 4 x y$ .

Open in App

Solution

$(x - y)^{2} = (x + y)^{2} - 4 x y$
First take R.H.S
$(x + y)^{2} - 4 x y$
We know that $(x + y)^{2} = x^{2} + 2 x y + y^{2}, (x - y)^{2} = x^{2} - 2 x y + y^{2}$
Therefore, $x^{2} + 2 x y + y^{2} - 4 x y$
$=$ $x^{2} - 2 x y + y^{2}$
$=$ $(x - y)^{2}$
So, L.H.S $=$ R.H.S
$(x - y)^{2} = (x - y)^{2}$
Hence $(x - y)^{2} = (x + y)^{2} - 4 x y$ is derived.
