${(q^{2} + \frac{4}{7})}^{2}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{2} \frac{2!}{(2 - k)! k!} \cdot {(q^{2})}^{2 - k} \cdot {(\frac{4}{7})}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{2!}{(2 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(q^{2})}^{2 - 0} \cdot {(\frac{4}{7})}^{0} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(q^{2})}^{2 - 1} \cdot {(\frac{4}{7})}^{1} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(q^{2})}^{2 - 2} \cdot {(\frac{4}{7})}^{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(q^{2})}^{2} \cdot {(\frac{4}{7})}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(q^{2})}^{1} \cdot {(\frac{4}{7})}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(q^{2})}^{0} \cdot {(\frac{4}{7})}^{2}$
