Is this equation an identity? (2x+1)^2-(x+1)^2=3(x+1)^2-1

Sagot :

Answer:

See below, please

Step-by-step explanation:

Left side

[tex] {(2x + 1)}^{2} - {(x + 1)}^{2} [/tex]

[tex] = (4 {x}^{2} + 4x + 1) - ( {x}^{2} + 2x + 1)[/tex]

[tex] = (4 {x}^{2} - {x}^{2} ) + (4x - 2x) + (1 -1 )[/tex]

[tex] = 3 {x}^{2} + 2x[/tex]

Right side

[tex]3 \times {(x + 1)}^{2} - 1[/tex]

[tex] = 3 \times ( {x}^{2} + 2x + 1) - 1[/tex]

[tex] = 3 {x}^{2} + 6x + 3 - 1[/tex]

[tex] = 3 {x}^{2} + 6x + 2[/tex]

After compared with both sides, we can make a conclusion that

This equation isn't an identity.
