Which of the following expressions does not appear in the expansion of \((x+y+z)^2\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(xyz\)
\((x+y+z)^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2xy+2yz+2zx\). It contains square terms and products of pairs of variables only; \(xyz\) is a product of three variables, so it is absent. Exam tip: list every pairwise product with coefficient \(2\).
