Also, please please please don't make the mistake of distributing an exponent to the terms. If you have (x + 5y)^2, make sure you understand that this means (x + 5y)*(x + 5y) = x^2 + 10xy + 25y^2If you want to know more details about this, watch this video, problem 2 or 3:http://www.brightstorm.com/d/math/s/algebra/u/polynomials-2/t/multiplying-monomials-andor-binomials-and-foilor this video:http://www.brightstorm.com/d/math/s/algebra-2/u/polynomials/t/multiplying-polynomials
