Expand Using Pascal's Triangle (2x^3+1)^5
(2x3+1)5(2x3+1)5
Step 1
Pascal's Triangle can be displayed as such:
11
1-111
1-2-1121
1-3-3-11331
1-4-6-4-114641
1-5-10-10-5-115101051
The triangle can be used to calculate the coefficients of the expansion of (a+b)n(a+b)n by taking the exponent nn and adding 11. The coefficients will correspond with line n+1n+1 of the triangle. For (2x3+1)5(2x3+1)5, n=5n=5 so the coefficients of the expansion will correspond with line 66.
Step 2
The expansion follows the rule (a+b)n=c0anb0+c1an-1b1+cn-1a1bn-1+cna0bn(a+b)n=c0anb0+c1an1b1+cn1a1bn1+cna0bn. The values of the coefficients, from the triangle, are 1-5-10-10-5-115101051.
