Correct answer: A

  1. Given equation

    2x+1−2x−1=1,x≥12\sqrt{2x+1}-\sqrt{2x-1}=1, \qquad x\ge \frac122x+1​−2x−1​=1,x≥21​

    We need to find:

    4x2−1\sqrt{4x^2-1}4x2−1​

  2. Use identity by squaring smartly

    Let a=2x+1,b=2x−1a=\sqrt{2x+1},\qquad b=\sqrt{2x-1}a=2x+1​,b=2x−1​ Then a−b=1a-b=1a−b=1

    Also, a2−b2=(2x+1)−(2x−1)=2a^2-b^2=(2x+1)-(2x-1)=2a2−b2=(2x+1)−(2x−1)=2

    But a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b) So, 2=1⋅(a+b)  ⟹  a+b=22=1\cdot(a+b) \implies a+b=22=1⋅(a+b)⟹a+b=2

  3. Solve for aaa and bbb

    We have a−b=1,a+b=2a-b=1,\qquad a+b=2a−b=1,a+b=2

    Adding, 2a=3  ⟹  a=322a=3 \implies a=\frac322a=3⟹a=23​

    Subtracting, 2b=1  ⟹  b=122b=1 \implies b=\frac122b=1⟹b=21​

  4. Find xxx

    Since b=2x−1=12b=\sqrt{2x-1}=\frac12b=2x−1​=21​ squaring: 2x−1=142x-1=\frac142x−1=41​ 2x=542x=\frac542x=45​ x=58x=\frac58x=85​

  5. Compute 4x2−1\sqrt{4x^2-1}4x2−1​

    x=58x=\frac58x=85​

    Then 4x2−1=4(2564)−1=10064−1=2516−1=9164x^2-1=4\left(\frac{25}{64}\right)-1=\frac{100}{64}-1=\frac{25}{16}-1=\frac{9}{16}4x2−1=4(6425​)−1=64100​−1=1625​−1=169​

    Therefore, 4x2−1=916=34\sqrt{4x^2-1}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{16}}=\frac344x2−1​=169​​=43​

  6. Check options

    34\frac3443​ matches Option A.

  7. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: A

    Derived answer: A

    So they agree.
