m Binomial expansion: split lines for legibility
Line 97:
Using the distributive property twice, the product of two parallel binomials can be expanded as
 
:<math>\begin{align}
:<math>(a \parallel b) (c \parallel d) = ac \parallel ad \parallel bc \parallel bd.</math>
(a \parallel b) (c \parallel d)
&= a(c \parallel d) \parallel b(c \parallel d) \\[3mu]
:<math>(a \parallel b) (c \parallel d) &= ac \parallel ad \parallel bc \parallel bd.</math>
\end{align}</math>
 
The square of a binomial is
 
:<math>\begin{align}
:<math>(a \parallel b)^2 = a^2 \parallel ab \parallel ba \parallel b^2 = a^2 \parallel \tfrac12ab \parallel b^2.</math>
(a \parallel b)^2
:<math>(a \parallel b)^2 &= a^2 \parallel ab \parallel ba \parallel b^2 = a^2 \parallel \tfrac12ab \parallel b^2.</math>[3mu]
&= a^2 \parallel \tfrac12ab \parallel b^2.
\end{align}</math>
