Understand the expression: Understand the expression 2(2−x2)−1.The expression given is a product of 2 and the reciprocal of (2−x2). The exponent −1 indicates that we need to take the reciprocal of the base (2−x2).
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression by taking the reciprocal of (2−x2). The reciprocal of (2−x2) is (2−x2)1. Therefore, the expression becomes: 2×(2−x2)1=(2−x2)2
Check for simplification: Check for any possible simplification.The expression 2−x22 cannot be simplified further because the numerator and the denominator do not have common factors that can be cancelled out.
