Answer:

2( -2a - 1 )  OR -2 ( 2a + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 4x - x²

f( a + 1) = 4( a + 1) - ( a + 1 )²

           = 4a + 4 - a² - 2a - 1

f( a + 1) = -a² + 2a + 3

f( a - 1) = 4( a - 1) - ( a - 1 )²

           = 4a - 4 - a² + 2a - 1

f( a + 1) = -a² + 6a - 5

now,

f( a + 1) - f( a - 1) = -a² + 2a + 3 - [4a - 4 - a² + 2a - 1]

                           = -a² + 2a + 3 - 4a + a² - 2a -5

                           = -4a - 2

                           = 2( -2a - 1 )  OR -2 ( 2a + 1)
