$${p}^{\mathrm{2}} −\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$=\left({p}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\right)\left({p}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\right) \\ $$$$=\left({p}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\right)\left[\left({p}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}\right]^{\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}×\left(\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}\right)^{\mathrm{1}/\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

$${p}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\Rightarrow\:{p}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\mathrm{6} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left({p}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}\:=\:\mathrm{6}\:\Rightarrow{p}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${then}\:\left({p}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\right)\left({p}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}}\right)=\:\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${p}^{\mathrm{2}} −\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{p}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\: \\ $$

$${P}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${P}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${P}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{8} \\ $$$$\left({P}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{8} \\ $$$${P}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}}=\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${P}^{\mathrm{2}} −\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\left({P}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}}\right)\left({P}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{P}}\right)=\pm\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

$$\mathrm{P}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{P}}\Rightarrow\mathrm{p}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2p}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{1}\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\Rightarrow\mathrm{p}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{3}\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{p}^{\mathrm{2}} −\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{p}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\left(\mathrm{3}\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right)−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}.\frac{\mathrm{3}\mp\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{3}\mp\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{3}\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\mathrm{3}\mp\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{9}−\mathrm{8}}=\mathrm{3}\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{3}\pm\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$=\pm\mathrm{4}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
