Solve the following quadratic equation for x,

4x2 + 4bx - (a2 - b2) = 0

Answer

Given equation,
4x2 + 4bx - (a2 - b2) = 0 
⇒ 4x2  +4bx - ( a + b) (a - b) = 0
⇒ 4x2 + 2[(a + b) - (a - b)] x - (a + b)(a-b) = 0
⇒ 4x2 +2 (a + b)x - 2(a - b)x - (a + b ) (a - b) = 0
⇒ 2x [2x + (a + b)] [(a - b)[2x + (a + b)] = 0
⇒ 2x + (a + b) = 0 or 2x - (a - b) = 0
⇒ x =  - (a + b)/2 OR x = (a - b)/2
