Which of the following expressions represents the expansion of \((x+y)^2\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(x^2+2xy+y^2\)
The identity \((x+y)^2=x^2+2xy+y^2\) includes the cross-term \(2xy\) along with both square terms. Option B represents \((x-y)^2\). Exam tip: use the sign of the middle term to identify the identity.
