What is the value of ( (2x+5)^2-(2x-5)^2 )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (40x)

Use the identity \\(a+b)^2-(a-b)^2=4ab\\). Here, the first square has the form \\(a+b)^2\\) and the second has the form \\(a-b)^2\\), with \\(a=2x\\) and \\(b=5\\). Therefore the difference is \\(4(2x)(5)=40x\\). The squared terms and the constant squared terms cancel when the expressions are expanded.

Hence option B, \\(40x\\), is correct. Direct expansion gives \\(4x^2+20x+25-(4x^2-20x+25)\\); cancelling like terms leaves \\(40x\\). Option A, \\(20x\\), misses one of the two middle terms, while option D contains terms that cancel. The identity is the quickest reliable method.
