Answer

$(x^{10}+2y^{5})^{2}$

Work Step by Step

Given the polynomial $(x^{10})^{2}$ + $4x^{10}y^{5}$ + $(2y^{5})^{2}$ We see that the polynomial has the first and last term squared and the middle term is +2 times the first and last term. Thus it follows the rule of $a^{2}$ + 2ab + $b^{2}$ = $(a+b)^{2}$ In this polynomial a= $x^{10}$ and b=$2y^{5}$ $x^{10}$ + 2($x^{10})(2y^{5}$) + $2y^{5}$ = $(x^{10}+2y^{5})^{2}$
