Write the following in the expanded form : (a/bc + b/ca + c/ab)^2

Expansion Using Algebraic Identity Write the Following in Expanded Form \[ \left(\frac{a}{bc} + \frac{b}{ca} + \frac{c}{ab}\right)^2 \] Solution: Using identity: \[ (x+y+z)^2 = x^2+y^2+z^2+2xy+2yz+2zx \] \[ \left(\frac{a}{bc} + \frac{b}{ca} + \frac{c}{ab}\right)^2 \] \[ = \left(\frac{a}{bc}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{b}{ca}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{c}{ab}\right)^2 + 2\left(\frac{a}{bc}\right)\left(\frac{b}{ca}\right) + 2\left(\frac{b}{ca}\right)\left(\frac{c}{ab}\right) + 2\left(\frac{c}{ab}\right)\left(\frac{a}{bc}\right) \] \[ = \frac{a^2}{b^2c^2} + \frac{b^2}{c^2a^2} + \frac{c^2}{a^2b^2} + \frac{2}{c^2}

Write the following in the expanded form : (x/y + y/z + z/x)^2

Expansion Using Algebraic Identity Write the Following in Expanded Form \[ \left(\frac{x}{y} + \frac{y}{z} + \frac{z}{x}\right)^2 \] Solution: Using identity: \[ (a+b+c)^2 = a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2bc+2ca \] \[ \left(\frac{x}{y} + \frac{y}{z} + \frac{z}{x}\right)^2 \] \[ = \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{y}{z}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{z}{x}\right)^2 + 2\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)\left(\frac{y}{z}\right) + 2\left(\frac{y}{z}\right)\left(\frac{z}{x}\right) + 2\left(\frac{z}{x}\right)\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) \] \[ = \frac{x^2}{y^2} + \frac{y^2}{z^2} + \frac{z^2}{x^2} + \frac{2x}{z}
