\frac{\left(x+y\right)^{2}}{2^{2}}-\left(\frac{x-y}{2}\right)^{2}
To raise \frac{x+y}{2} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{\left(x+y\right)^{2}}{2^{2}}-\frac{\left(x-y\right)^{2}}{2^{2}}
To raise \frac{x-y}{2} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{\left(x+y\right)^{2}}{2^{2}}-\frac{\left(x-y\right)^{2}}{4}
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
\frac{\left(x+y\right)^{2}}{4}-\frac{\left(x-y\right)^{2}}{4}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Expand 2^{2}.
\frac{\left(x+y\right)^{2}-\left(x-y\right)^{2}}{4}
Since \frac{\left(x+y\right)^{2}}{4} and \frac{\left(x-y\right)^{2}}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x^{2}+2xy+y^{2}-x^{2}+2xy-y^{2}}{4}
Do the multiplications in \left(x+y\right)^{2}-\left(x-y\right)^{2}.
\frac{4xy}{4}
Combine like terms in x^{2}+2xy+y^{2}-x^{2}+2xy-y^{2}.
xy
Cancel out 4 and 4.
