    Hello,

    I have come across this part of a question which has puzzled me.

    I assume it means Taylors, but could someone help me understand this?

    Re: Expansion

    Not Taylor's expansion, they just mean to multiply it out:

    (x + y/sqrt[n] + z/n) * (x + y/sqrt[n] + z/n) = x2 + . . .​

    Ah, typical of me. I always look for the hardest way of doing things.

    Thank you!

    Re: Expansion

    Not a taylor series - just square the whole thing.

    [tex]
    \left(x + \frac y {\sqrt n} + \frac z n\right)^2 = \left(x + \frac y {\sqrt n} + \frac z n\right) \cdot \left(x + \frac y {\sqrt n} + \frac z n\right)
    [/tex]
