Which term containing (ab) appears in ( (a-b+c)^2 )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (-2ab)

The direct answer is option B: \(-2ab\). Start with the identity \\(x+y+z)^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2xy+2yz+2zx\\), taking the three terms as \(a\), \(-b\), and \(c\). The product involving \(a\) and \(-b\) is \(2(a)(-b)=-2ab\). Therefore the required term is negative. Option A, \(2ab\), would result from \(a+b\), not \(a-b\). Option B is correct because the negative sign belonging to \(-b\) remains in the mixed term. Option C, \(ab\), misses the factor 2 required in a square expansion. Option D, \(-ab\), also misses that factor 2. Remember: in a square, every pair of unlike terms gives twice their product; include the signs before multiplying.
