Options
- A-
- B2
- C+
- D2
Correct answer
C. +
Step-by-step solution
The given expression is E = 1 - + 1 - . Substituting = and = , we get: E = 1 - + 1 - E = - + - E = ^2 - + ^2 - Since - = -( - ) , we have: E = ^2 - - ^2 - E = ^2 - ^2 - Using the identity a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) , we get: E = ( - )( + ) - E = + Answer: +
