Question

Simplify (3a²b²)²+(ab)²​

Answer 1

(3a^2b^2) + (ab)^2 = (3a^2b^2) + (a^2b^2)
= 4a^2b^2

Answer 2

`a^(2) b^(2)` (9
`a^(2) b^(2)` + 1)

Explanation:

simplify (3a²b²)²+(ab)²​; for the first term, square the 3 and multiply the exponents by 2, also multiply the exponents by 2 in the second term

`9a^(4) b^(4) + a^(2) b^(2)` ; factor out
`a^(2) b^(2)`

`a^(2) b^(2)` (9
`a^(2) b^(2)` + 1)
