you are correct, as far as you have gone. However, since
a^2 - 4b^2 = (a-2b)(a+2b), you wind up with just
a-2b
please help. I am not sure if this is correct. I need to simplify this to the lowest terms
a^2 - 4b ^2
_____ ______
a+2b a+2b
my answer is:
a^2-4b^2
_________
a+2b
is this really to the lowest term?? for some reason I think I am doing this wrong. Thank you!
