What is obtained by simplifying ( (5a+2b)^2+(5a-2b)^2 )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (50a^2+8b^2)

The direct answer is A: 50a² + 8b². Use the identity \\(u+v\\)^2+\\(u-v\\)^2=2u^2+2v^2. Here, u = 5a and v = 2b. Therefore the expression becomes 2\\(5a\\)^2 + 2\\(2b\\)^2 = 2(25a²) + 2(4b²) = 50a² + 8b². If expanded separately, the first square has +20ab and the second has -20ab; these middle terms cancel. Option A is correct. Option B, 25a² + 4b², is only half of the required result because both squares contribute. Option C, 20ab, is not the final value; the opposite middle terms cancel instead of adding. Option D, 50a² - 8b², has the wrong sign for the b² term; squared terms contribute positively here. A useful check is to put a = 1 and b = 1: the original value is 7² + 3² = 49 + 9 = 58, and option A also gives 50 + 8 = 58. Memory trick: in the sum of opposite squares, middle terms disappear and the square terms double.
