What is the coefficient of X^2Y^2 in the expansion of (x+y)^4

6

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to expand this; (x + y)⁴

This can be written as;

(x + y)² × (x + y)²

This gives;

(x² + 2xy + y²) × (x² + 2xy + y²)

This gives;

x²(x² + 2xy + y²) + 2xy(x² + 2xy + y²) + y²(x² + 2xy + y²) = x⁴ + 2x³y + x²y² + 2x³y + 4x²y² + 2xy³ + x²y² + 2xy³ + y⁴

Simplifying gives;

x⁴ + 4x³y + 4xy³ + 6x²y² + y⁴

Thus, the coefficient of x²y² is 6

answer is 8x+24

area of vanessa's patio = length × width

given, length = (3x² + 5x + 10)

width = (x² - 3x - 1)

area of vanessa's patio = (3x² + 5x + 10)(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x²(x² - 3x - 1) + 5x(x² - 3x - 1) + 10(x² - 3x - 1)

= 3x⁴ - 9x³ - 3x² + 5x³ - 15x² - 5x + 10x² - 30x - 10

= 3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10

hence, expression of vanessa's patio = (3x⁴ - 4x³ - 8x² - 35x - 10)
