Question 221427: (ax+by)^2 +(bx-ay)^2

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(ax+by)^2 +(bx-ay)^2
(a^2x^2 + 2abxy + b^2y^2) + (b^2x^2 -2abxy + a^2y^2)
a^2x^2 + b^2y^2 + b^2x^2 + a^2y^2

Did you want to factor this? If so, do factoring by grouping:
a^2x^2 + b^2x^2 + b^2y^2 + a^2y^2
x^2(a^2 +b^2) + y^2(a^2 + b^2)
(a^2 + b^2) (x^2+y^2)
