To solve this expression, we can first simplify the expression inside the parenthesis by combining like terms:
(x + 2y) + (x + 2y)^2 = (x + 2y) + x^2 + 4xy + 4y^2
Now we can distribute the A to each term inside the parenthesis:
A(x + 2y) + A(x^2 + 4xy + 4y^2)
Next, we can simplify each term:
A(x + 2y) = Ax + 2Ay
A(x^2 + 4xy + 4y^2) = Ax^2 + 4Axy + 4Ay^2
Putting these simplified terms back together, we get:
Ax + 2Ay + Ax^2 + 4Axy + 4Ay^2
This is the final simplified expression.
