8. In the expression (a+b)^wedge 2 what is the expanded form? a. a^wedge 2+b^wedge 2 b a^wedge 2+2ab+b^wedge 2 C. 2a+2b d. ab+a+b

The correct answer is b. .To expand the expression , we can use the formula . This formula is derived from the distributive property of multiplication over addition.In this formula, represents the square of the first term, represents twice the product of the two terms, and represents the square of the second term.Therefore, the expanded form of is .
