Problem

(x+1)^2

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a square of a binomial in the form (a+b)^2

2. Apply the formula for the square of a binomial, which is (a+b)^2=a^2+2*a*b+b^2

3. Substitute a=x and b=1 into the formula.

4. Expand the terms to get x^2+2*(x)*(1)+1^2

5. Simplify the resulting expression by performing the multiplication and squaring the constant.

Final Answer
