But how you take the numerator as 4.2 = a^2. If it so means a^4-b^4 = 4. 2*4.2 - 1.9*1.9. I can't get your explanation.

Here in numerator 4.2 is expressed as a^2
and 1.9 is expressed as b^2
Similarly it is clearly know from the denominator
Such that (a^2=4.2) and (b^2=1.9)formula for
(a^2-b^2) is (a+b)(a-b)
therefore 4.2+1.9 =6.1 and 4.2-1.9=2.3thus when both are canceled we get 1.0 as result
and 1.9 is expressed as b^2
Similarly it is clearly know from the denominator
Such that (a^2=4.2) and (b^2=1.9)formula for
(a^2-b^2) is (a+b)(a-b)
therefore 4.2+1.9 =6.1 and 4.2-1.9=2.3thus when both are canceled we get 1.0 as result
