a. (6x + 1)2 + (6x – 1)2 – 2(1 + 6x)(6x – 1)
= (6x + 1)2 – 2(1 + 6x)(6x – 1) + (6x – 1)2
= [(6x + 1) – (6x – 1)]2
= (6x + 1 – 6x + 1)2 = 22 = 4
b. 3(22 + 1)(24 + 1)(28 + 1)(216 + 1)
= (22 – 1)(22 + 1)(24 + 1)(28 + 1)(216 + 1)
( vì 22 – 1 = 4 – 1= 3)
= (24 - 1)(24 + 1)(28 + 1)(216 + 1)
= (28 - 1)(28 + 1)(216 + 1)
= (216 - 1)(216 + 1)
= 232 – 1
