Answer:

2a² - [tex]\frac{2}{a^2}[/tex] = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2a + 2/a = 4

Multiplying by a throughout to get:

2a² + 2 = 4a

Making this a quadratic equation:

2a² - 4a + 2 = 0

Dividing by 2 throughout:

a² - 2a + 1 = 0

Applying the quadratic formula:

a = [tex]\frac{2 +/- 0}{2}[/tex]

a = 1

2a² - [tex]\frac{2}{a^2}[/tex] = 2 - 2 = 0
