Question
Let $A$ and $B$ be square matrices of the same order. Does $(A + B)^2 = A^2 + 2AB + B^2$ hold? If not, why$?$
✓

Answer

LHS $= (A + B)^2$
$= (A + B)(A + B)$
$= A(A + B) + B(A + B)$
$= A^2 + AB + BA + B^2$^
We know that a matrix does not have commutative property. So,
$AB \neq BA$
Thus,
$(A + B)^2 \neq A^2 + 2AB + B^2$​​​​​​​^
