No, ab squared is not the same as 2ab.

ab squared (ab^2) means multiplying ab by itself, resulting in a^2 * b^2.

On the other hand, 2ab means multiplying 2 by a and then by b, resulting in 2ab.

These two expressions are not equivalent because ab^2 involves squaring the variable b, while 2ab does not involve squaring any variables.
