a) \(\left(2x+1\right)^2+2\left(2x+1\right)+1\)
\(=\left(2x+1\right)^2+2\cdot\left(2x+1\right)\cdot1+1^2\)
\(=\left[\left(2x+1\right)+1\right]^2\)
\(=\left(2x+2\right)^2\)
b) \(\left(x-y\right)^2+\left(x+y\right)^2-2\left(x-y\right)\left(x+y\right)\)
\(=\left(x-y\right)^2-2\left(x-y\right)\left(x+y\right)+\left(x+y\right)^2\)
\(=\left[\left(x-y\right)-\left(x+y\right)\right]^2\)
\(=\left(x-y-x-y\right)^2\)
\(=\left(-2y\right)^2\)
\(=4y^2\)
