Answer

The simplified form, with no quotients, of \((5+\sin t)^{2}+\cos ^{2} t\) is \(\boxed{10\sin t + 26}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the expression \((5+\sin t)^{2}+\cos ^{2} t\).

Step 2 :Expand the square to get \(\sin(t)^2 + 10\sin(t) + \cos(t)^2 + 25\).

Step 3 :Use the Pythagorean identity \(\sin^2 t + \cos^2 t = 1\) to simplify the expression further.

Step 4 :The simplified form, with no quotients, of \((5+\sin t)^{2}+\cos ^{2} t\) is \(\boxed{10\sin t + 26}\).
