(2) 3 + m
(3) 3x + 1
(4) p + 2q
(5) x + 2y

Solution

(1) x + 4
Square of (x + 4) = (x + 4)2
The expression (x + 4)2 is of the form (a + b)2 .
Thus, we can use the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 .
∴ (x + 4)2 = (x)2 + 2 (x) (4) + (4)2
= x2 + 8x + 16

(2) 3 + m
Square of (3 + m) = (3 + m)2
The expression (3 + m)2 is of the form (a + b)2 .
Thus, we can use the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 .
∴ (3 + m)2 = (3)2 + 2 (3) (m) + (m)2
= 9 + 6m + m2

(3) 3x + 1
Square of (3x + 1)= (3x + 1)2
The expression (3x + 1)2 is of the form (a + b)2 .
Thus, we can use the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 .
∴ (3x + 1)2 = (3x)2 + 2 (3x) (1) + (1)2
= 9x2 + 6x + 1

(4) p + 2q
Square of p + 2q = (p + 2q)2
The expression (p + 2q)2 is of the form (a + b)2 .
Thus, we can use the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 .
∴ (p + 2q)2 = (p)2 + 2 (p) (2q) + (2q)2
= p2 + 4pq + 4q2

(5) x + 2y
Square of (x + 2y) = (x + 2y)2
The expression (x + 2y)2 is of the form (a + b)2 .
Thus, we can use the identity (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 .
∴ (x + 2y)2 = (x)2 + 2 (x) (2y) + (2y)2
= x2 + 4xy + 4y2
