Simplify:$(a + b + c)^2 - (a - b + c)^2$
Given:
$(a + b + c)^2 - (a - b + c)^2$
To do:
We have to simplify $(a + b + c)^2 - (a - b + c)^2$.
Solution:
We know that,
$(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2bc+2ca$
Therefore,
$(a+b+c)^{2}-(a-b+c)^{2}=(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+2 a b+2 b c+2 c a)-(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}-2 a b-2 b c+2 c a)$
$=a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+2 a b+2 b c+2 c a-a^{2}-b^{2}-c^{2}+2 a b+2 b c-2 c a$
$=4 a b+4 b c$
$=4(a b+b c)$
Hence, $(a+b+c)^{2}-(a-b+c)^{2}=4(ab+bc)$.
