Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (3x+7y)^2

${(3 x + 7 y)}^{2}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{2} \frac{2!}{(2 - k)! k!} \cdot {(3 x)}^{2 - k} \cdot {(7 y)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{2!}{(2 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(3 x)}^{2 - 0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{0} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(3 x)}^{2 - 1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(3 x)}^{2 - 2} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{2} \cdot {(7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Step 4

Simplify each term.

Multiply ${(3 x)}^{2}$ by $1$ .

${(3 x)}^{2} \cdot {(7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $3 x$ .

$3^{2} x^{2} \cdot {(7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Raise $3$ to the power of $2$ .

$9 x^{2} \cdot {(7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $7 y$ .

$9 x^{2} \cdot (7^{0} y^{0}) + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$9 \cdot 7^{0} x^{2} y^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$9 \cdot 1 x^{2} y^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $9$ by $1$ .

$9 x^{2} y^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$9 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $9$ by $1$ .

$9 x^{2} + 2 \cdot {(3 x)}^{1} \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Simplify.

$9 x^{2} + 2 \cdot (3 x) \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $3$ by $2$ .

$9 x^{2} + 6 x \cdot {(7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Simplify.

$9 x^{2} + 6 x \cdot (7 y) + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$9 x^{2} + 6 \cdot 7 x y + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $6$ by $7$ .

$9 x^{2} + 42 x y + 1 \cdot {(3 x)}^{0} \cdot {(7 y)}^{2}$
