If + =p , then what is ^2(2 ) equal to?
Options
- Ap ^2
- Bp ^2-1
- Cp ^2 (2- p ^2 )
- Dp ^2+1
Correct answer
C. p ^2 (2- p ^2 )
Step-by-step solution
+ =p aligned & ( + )^2= p ^2 & ^2 + ^2 +2 = p ^2 & 1+ 2 = p ^2 & 2 = p ^2-1 & ^2 2 =1- ^2 2 =1- ( p ^2-1 )^2 & =1- ( p ^4+1-2 p ^2 )=- p ^4+2 p ^2 & = p ^2 (2- p ^2 ) aligned
