${(\sqrt{2} x + \frac{1}{2} y)}^{4}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{4} \frac{4!}{(4 - k)! k!} \cdot {(\sqrt{2} x)}^{4 - k} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{4!}{(4 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(\sqrt{2} x)}^{4 - 0} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{0} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(\sqrt{2} x)}^{4 - 1} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{1} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(\sqrt{2} x)}^{4 - 2} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{2} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 3)! 3!} \cdot {(\sqrt{2} x)}^{4 - 3} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{3} + \frac{4!}{(4 - 4)! 4!} \cdot {(\sqrt{2} x)}^{4 - 4} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{4}$

$4 x^{4} + 4 \sqrt{2} x^{3} y + 3 x^{2} y^{2} + \frac{x \sqrt{2} y^{3}}{2} + 1 x^{0} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{4}$

Step 4.37

Multiply $x^{0}$ by $1$ .

$4 x^{4} + 4 \sqrt{2} x^{3} y + 3 x^{2} y^{2} + \frac{x \sqrt{2} y^{3}}{2} + x^{0} \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{4}$

Step 4.38

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$4 x^{4} + 4 \sqrt{2} x^{3} y + 3 x^{2} y^{2} + \frac{x \sqrt{2} y^{3}}{2} + 1 \cdot {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{4}$

Step 4.39

Multiply ${(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{4}$ by $1$ .

$4 x^{4} + 4 \sqrt{2} x^{3} y + 3 x^{2} y^{2} + \frac{x \sqrt{2} y^{3}}{2} + {(\frac{1}{2} y)}^{4}$

Step 4.40

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $y$ .

$4 x^{4} + 4 \sqrt{2} x^{3} y + 3 x^{2} y^{2} + \frac{x \sqrt{2} y^{3}}{2} + {(\frac{y}{2})}^{4}$

Step 4.41

Apply the product rule to $\frac{y}{2}$ .

$4 x^{4} + 4 \sqrt{2} x^{3} y + 3 x^{2} y^{2} + \frac{x \sqrt{2} y^{3}}{2} + \frac{y^{4}}{2^{4}}$

Step 4.42

Raise $2$ to the power of $4$ .

$4 x^{4} + 4 \sqrt{2} x^{3} y + 3 x^{2} y^{2} + \frac{x \sqrt{2} y^{3}}{2} + \frac{y^{4}}{16}$
