\((2uv)^2 + (u^2 - v^2)^2 = \)


A. \(2uv\)

B. \(u^2-v^2\)

C. \(u^2+v^2\)

D. \((2uv)^2 + (u^2+v^2)^2\)

E. \((u^2+v^2)^2\)


Take: \((2uv)^2 + (u^2 - v^2)^2 \)

Expand to get: \(4u^2v^2 + [u^4 - 2u^2v^2 + v^4] \)

Simplify: \(u^4 + 2u^2v^2 + v^4 \)

Factor: \((u^2+v^2)^2\)

Answer: E

if its too much algebra for you then let u=1 and v=1
(2*1)^2 + (1-1)^2 = 4
put u=1 and v=1 in all answer choices and only E gives out 4.
Hence, E.
