Type the correct answer in each box. use numerals instead of words. if necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s).

The correct representation of the given identity is:

i.e. the first bracket contains -2 and the second bracket has value 6.

We have to fill in the box with proper numerals so that the identity in terms of a and b  holds true.

We can write the identity as:

Since on combining the terms in the left hand side of the equality we get:

i.e. we get:

Hence, the numeral in first bracket i.e. coefficient of is:

                          -2

and the numeral in second bracket i.e. coefficient of is:

                                 6

answer: a and b
