Question
(𝑎 + 𝑏)2 =
- 𝑎2 + 𝑏2
- 𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2
- 𝑎2 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2
- 𝑎2 − 𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2
Hint:
The methods used to find the product of binomials are called special products.
Multiplying a number by itself is often called squaring.
For example (x + 3)(x + 3) = (x + 3)2
The correct answer is: 𝑎2 + 2𝑎𝑏 + 𝑏2
(a+ b)2 can be written as (a + b)(a + b)
(a + b)(a + b) = a(a + b) + b(a + b)
= a(a) + a(b) + b(a) + b(b)
= a2 + ab + ab + b2
= a2 + 2ab + b2
Final Answer:
The simplified value of (𝑎 + 𝑏)2 is 2ab + b2. Hence, option c is correct.
Final Answer:
The simplified value of (𝑎 + 𝑏)2 is 2ab + b2. Hence, option c is correct.
