do you mean (x+5y)^2 ? If so I believe it is X^2+5y^2

Are you looking for (x+5y) cubed?  (x+5y)^3 = (x + 5y)*(x+5y)*(x+5y)                = (x^2 + 5xy + 5xy + 25y^2)*(x+5y)                = (x^2 +10xy + 25y^2)*(x+5y)                = x^3 + 5(x^2)y + 10(x^2)y + 50xy^2 + 25xy^2 + 125y^3                = x^3 + 15x^2y + 75xy^2 + 125y^3Just remember that when multiplying parentheses with more than one term by another parentheses, all the things in each group, must multiply all the things in the other.  So I just take the first group of things, and one by one I multiply each thing to each thing in the second group.

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
