Procedural Terminology for Radical Equations

A maintenance technician is solving the equation m+1=m+9\sqrt{m} + 1 = \sqrt{m + 9} to calculate a stress threshold for a support beam. After squaring both sides for the first time, the technician identifies that a radical still remains in the expression m+2m+1m + 2\sqrt{m} + 1. Based on the standard procedure for this equation, state the name of the algebraic pattern used to expand (m+1)2(\sqrt{m} + 1)^2 and identify the specific middle term that contains the remaining radical.
