You can put this solution on YOUR website!
No acutally this is really simple. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28a%2Bb%29%5E4-%28a-b%29%5E4\"
\n" ); document.write( "expand the polynomoials
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E4%2Bb%5E4-a%5E4%2Bb%5E4\" -(-) -->+ (negative times a negative gives positive.)
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify --The \"a%5E4\" cancel out
\n" ); document.write( "Left with \"2b%5E4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
