${(2 x^{3} + 1)}^{5}$

Step 1

Pascal's Triangle can be displayed as such:

$1$

$1 - 1$

$1 - 2 - 1$

$1 - 3 - 3 - 1$

$1 - 4 - 6 - 4 - 1$

$1 - 5 - 10 - 10 - 5 - 1$

The triangle can be used to calculate the coefficients of the expansion of ${(a + b)}^{n}$ by taking the exponent $n$ and adding $1$ . The coefficients will correspond with line $n + 1$ of the triangle. For ${(2 x^{3} + 1)}^{5}$ , $n = 5$ so the coefficients of the expansion will correspond with line $6$ .

Step 2

The expansion follows the rule ${(a + b)}^{n} = c_{0} a^{n} b^{0} + c_{1} a^{n - 1} b^{1} + c_{n - 1} a^{1} b^{n - 1} + c_{n} a^{0} b^{n}$ . The values of the coefficients, from the triangle, are $1 - 5 - 10 - 10 - 5 - 1$ .

$1 a^{5} b^{0} + 5 a^{4} b + 10 a^{3} b^{2} + 10 a^{2} b^{3} + 5 a b^{4} + 1 a^{0} b^{5}$

Step 3

Substitute the actual values of $a$ $2 x^{3}$ and $b$ $1$ into the expression.

$1 {(2 x^{3})}^{5} {(1)}^{0} + 5 {(2 x^{3})}^{4} {(1)}^{1} + 10 {(2 x^{3})}^{3} {(1)}^{2} + 10 {(2 x^{3})}^{2} {(1)}^{3} + 5 {(2 x^{3})}^{1} {(1)}^{4} + 1 {(2 x^{3})}^{0} {(1)}^{5}$
