Math Problem Statement
Distribute and express as a trinomial: (5 + 5√x)^2
Solution
To solve the expression as a trinomial, we need to apply the binomial square formula, which is:
Here, and . Let's break it down step by step:
-
Square the first term:
-
Multiply the first and second terms by 2:
-
Square the second term:
Now, combine these results to express the trinomial:
