The answer is x-2 because dividing is the opposite of mutiplying. Hope this helps.

Option (b) \((x-2)\) is the correct answer.

A polynomial is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable(s).

So, \((x+2)*(x-2)\)

     \(=x^{2} -2x+2x-4\)

     \(=x^{2} -4\)

Therefore, LHS is equal to RHS.

Hence, \((x-2)\) is the polynomial that should be filled in that place.
