We can use the given to find the answer.

(x+2) times x = x^2 and 2 times -2 = -4

Therefore, (x+2)(x-2) = x^2-4

The polynomial is an expression which consist variable and coefficient. The correct polynomial can be find by using cross multiplication rule.

The correct polynomial is (x-2).

Given:

The given expression is as follows,

[tex]\dfrac{\left(x^2-4\right)}{\left(x+2\right)}=\left(x-2\right)[/tex]

We can write [tex](x-2)[/tex] as,

[tex]\dfrac {(x-2)}{1}[/tex]

Now further solve the above equation.

[tex]\dfrac{\left(x^2-4\right)}{\left(x+2\right)}=\dfrac{\left(x-2\right)}{1}[/tex]

Cross multiply the above expression.

[tex](x+2)(x-2)=(x^2-4)[/tex]

Thus, the correct polynomial is (x-2).
