Q. Expand each of the following, using suitable identities:(i) (x+2y+4z)2(ii) (2x−y+z)2
Expand First Expression: Step 1: Expand (x+2y+4z)2 using the identity (a+b+c)2=a2+b2+c2+2ab+2ac+2bc.Calculation: (x+2y+4z)2=x2+(2y)2+(4z)2+2⋅x⋅2y+2⋅x⋅4z+2⋅2y⋅4z=x2+4y2+16z2+4xy+8xz+16yz
Expand Second Expression: Step 2: Expand (2x−y+z)2 using the identity (a+b+c)2=a2+b2+c2+2ab+2ac+2bc.Calculation:(2x−y+z)2=(2x)2+(−y)2+z2+2⋅2x⋅(−y)+2⋅2x⋅z+2⋅(−y)⋅z=4x2+y2+z2−4xy+4xz−2yz
