To solve this expression, we'll combine like terms.
Given: (4k² + 2k + 1) + (-4k² + 2k - 1)
Combine the like terms by adding the coefficients of k², k, and the constants:
4k² - 4k² + 2k + 2k + 1 - 1
Since the k² terms have opposite signs, they cancel each other out:
0k² + 4k + 0
Simplifying this expression further, we have:
4k
Therefore, the given expression (4k² + 2k + 1) + (-4k² + 2k - 1) simplifies to 4k.
