Which of the following expressions is in the form of the square of a binomial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \((x+y)^2\)
\((x+y)^2\) is the square of the binomial \(x+y\). Its expansion is \(x^2+2xy+y^2\). In contrast, \((x+y)(x-y)\) represents a difference of squares. Exam tip: look first for an outside power of 2.
