Answer:
In [tex]$(a+b)^{2}$[/tex] is obtained by addition therefore result is trinomial while in (a-b)(a + b) the middle terms are canceled out of each other therefore result is binomial.
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation
- Given that [tex](a+ b)^{2}$[/tex] results in a trinomial, but (a-b)(a-b) results in a binomial.
- An expression [tex]$(a+b)^{2}$[/tex] when multiply and simplify it is equal [tex]a^{2}+a b+a b+b^{2}=a^{2}+2 a b+b^{2}$[/tex] therefore it is trinomial. Here middle term is obtained by addition. While an expression (a + b) (a-b) when multiply and simplify it is equal to [tex]$a^{2}-a b+a b+b^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$[/tex]therefore it is binomial because the middle that is positive ab is canceled by negative ab.
