Choose the factorised form of (x^2-y^2+2y-1).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x-y+1)(x+y-1)

The direct answer is A: (x-y+1)(x+y-1). First group the y-terms: -y^2+2y-1=-(y^2-2y+1)=-(y-1)^2. The whole expression becomes x^2-(y-1)^2. Now apply U^2-V^2=(U-V)(U+V), with U=x and V=y-1. This gives [x-(y-1)][x+(y-1)]=(x-y+1)(x+y-1). Option A is therefore correct. Expanding it gives x^2+x(y-1)-y+1? More directly, it is x^2-(y-1)^2=x^2-y^2+2y-1, exactly the original. B and C both produce x^2-(y+1)^2=x^2-y^2-2y-1, with the wrong sign for 2y. D is (x+y-1)^2 and introduces a positive 2xy term, which is absent. The main warning is that the negative sign belongs to the entire square (y-1)^2, not just to y^2.
