Simplify (xy+yz)22x2y2z and find it's value when x=1,y=1 and z=2


Options:
A .   3
B .   4
C .   -3
D .   0
Answer: Option C
:
C

(xy+yz)2 is in the form of (a+b)2 where a=xy and b=yz.
 Using (a+b)2=a2+b2+2ab,
 (xy+yz)2=x2y2+y2z2+2xzy2.


Therefore,
(xy+yz)22x2y2z=x2y2+y2z2+2xzy22x2y2z


Substituting the values of x,y and z in the above expression, we get
x2y2+y2z2+2xzy22x2y2z
(1)2(1)2+(1)2(2)2+2(1)(2)(1)22(1)2(1)2(2)
1 + 4 - 4 - 4 = -3
