| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{x^2+y^2+z^2}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x^2+y^2+z^2\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{x^2+y^2+z^2}\right) \cdot \left( x^2+y^2+z^2\right) = \\ = x^4+x^2y^2+x^2z^2+x^2y^2+y^4+y^2z^2+x^2z^2+y^2z^2+z^4 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ x^4+ \color{blue}{x^2y^2} + \color{red}{x^2z^2} + \color{blue}{x^2y^2} +y^4+ \color{green}{y^2z^2} + \color{red}{x^2z^2} + \color{green}{y^2z^2} +z^4 = \\ = x^4+ \color{blue}{2x^2y^2} + \color{red}{2x^2z^2} +y^4+ \color{green}{2y^2z^2} +z^4 $$ |
