a^2+2ab+b^2
[tex]\rightsquigarrow\circ\boldsymbol{Explanation}\circ\leftharpoonup[/tex]
Remember the rule for expanding a binomial squared.
[tex]\twoheadrightarrow\sf (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2[/tex]
So we square the first term, then multiply the product of the two terms times 2.
[tex]\twoheadrightarrow\sf a^2+2ab+b^2[/tex]
This is our answer.
