What will be the term containing (xy) in ( (2x+3y+z)^2 )?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 12xy
In
(2x+3y+z)^2, the term containing xy comes from 2(2x)(3y). Therefore, 2 × 2x × 3y = 12xy. The value 6xy results from taking only (2x)(3y), but this product occurs twice in the expansion of a square. Exam tip: in the square of a trinomial, the mixed term for two different terms is 2ab.
