(x-y)12(x−y)12
Step 1
Pascal's Triangle can be displayed as such:
11
1-11−1
1-2-11−2−1
……
1-10-45-120-210-252-210-120-45-10-11−10−45−120−210−252−210−120−45−10−1
1-11-55-165-330-462-462-330-165-55-11-11−11−55−165−330−462−462−330−165−55−11−1
1-12-66-220-495-792-924-792-495-220-66-12-11−12−66−220−495−792−924−792−495−220−66−12−1
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 (x-y)12(x−y)12, n=12n=12 so the coefficients of the expansion will correspond with line 1313.
Step 2
The expansion follows the rule (a+b)n=c0anb0+c1an-1b1+cn-1a1bn-1+cna0bn(a+b)n=c0anb0+c1an−1b1+cn−1a1bn−1+cna0bn. The values of the coefficients, from the triangle, are 1-12-66-220-495-792-924-792-495-220-66-12-11−12−66−220−495−792−924−792−495−220−66−12−1.
