(a + b) * (a + b) equals:

a * (a + b) plus b * (a + b) which equals:

(a*a) + (a*b) + (b*a) + (b*b).

since a*b) is the same as (b*a), this can be shown as:

(a*a) + (a*b) + (a*b) + b*b) which can be shown as:

a^2 + 2*a*b + b^2

if you let a = x^n and b = y^m, this becomes:

which can be shown as:
