The middle term of the expansion of (√x + √y)⁸ is; B: 70 * x² * y²
We want to expand the expression;
(√x + √y)⁸
Now, according to binomial expansion, we know that;
(x + y)ⁿ = ⁿC₀ xⁿ y⁰ + ⁿC₁ xⁿ ⁻ ¹ y¹ + ⁿC₂ xⁿ ⁻ ² y² + ..... + ⁿCₙ x⁰ yⁿ.
Now, for an 8 power binomial, the coefficient of each term from formula are respectively;
1 8 28 56 70 56 28 8 1
The mid term is the fifth term and so, we have;
(⁸C₄ * (√x)⁽⁸ ⁻ ⁴⁾ * (√y)⁴)
⇒ 70 * x² * y²
