Find each product. Assume all variables represent positive real numbers. (p1/2-p-1/2)(p1/2+p-1/2)
In Exercises 83–90, perform the indicated operations. Simplify the result, if possible.
The special products can be used to perform selected multiplications.
On the left, we use (x+y)(x-y) = x2-y2. On the right, (x-y)2 = x2-2xy+y2.
