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)
