\(a,N=\dfrac{x^2+xy+y^2}{\left(x-y\right)\left(x+y\right)}\cdot\dfrac{\left(x-y\right)\left(x^4-y^4\right)}{\left(x-y\right)\left(x^2+xy+y^2\right)}\\ N=\dfrac{\left(x-y\right)\left(x+y\right)\left(x^2+y^2\right)}{\left(x-y\right)\left(x+y\right)}=x^2+y^2\\ b,N=\left(x+y\right)^2-2xy=0-2\cdot1=-2\)
