Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The given expression is 49a
2
+70ab+25b
2
.

We can rewrite each term to check if it fits a standard algebraic identity:

49a
2
=(7a)

25b
2
=(5b)
2

70ab=2×(7a)×(5b)
Thus, the expression is in the form of x
2
+2xy+y
2
, which equals (x+y)
2
.
Where x=7a and y=5b.

Therefore:

49a
2
+70ab+25b
2
=(7a+5b)
