1. Problem Description

We are given the function f(x)=(xa)2(xb)2f(x) = (x-a)^2(x-b)^2 and we need to find the value of f(a+b)f(a+b).

2. Solution Steps

To find f(a+b)f(a+b), we need to substitute xx with a+ba+b in the given function.
f(a+b)=((a+b)a)2((a+b)b)2f(a+b) = ((a+b)-a)^2((a+b)-b)^2
f(a+b)=(a+ba)2(a+bb)2f(a+b) = (a+b-a)^2(a+b-b)^2
f(a+b)=(b)2(a)2f(a+b) = (b)^2(a)^2
f(a+b)=a2b2f(a+b) = a^2b^2

3. Final Answer

f(a+b)=a2b2f(a+b) = a^2b^2
