Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we will apply the power of a product rule to the expression (y×x)2 (y \times x)^2 .

The power of a product rule states:

  • (a×b)n=an×bn(a \times b)^n = a^n \times b^n

In this case, the product is y×x y \times x , and the power is 2. Applying the power of a product rule gives us:

(y×x)2=y2×x2(y \times x)^2 = y^2 \times x^2

Therefore, the expanded form of the given expression is y2×x2\mathbf{y^2 \times x^2}.

Answer

y2×x2 y^2\times x^2
