Answer

Given, x = 4 and y = 2.

(i) Substituting x = 4 and y = 2 in x + y, we get:

x + y = 4 + 2

∴ x + y = 6

(ii) Substituting x = 4 and y = 2 in x - y, we get:

x - y = 4 - 2

∴ x - y = 2

(iii) Substituting x = 4 in x2 + 2, we get:

x2 + 2 = (4)2 + 2

= 4 × 4 + 2

= 16 + 2

∴ x2 + 2 = 18

(iv) Substituting x = 4 and y = 2 in x2 - 2xy + y2, we get:

x2 - 2xy + y2 = (4)2 - 2(4)(2) + (2)2

= 16 - 16 + 4

= 4

∴ x2 - 2xy + y2 = 4
