Question

Expand the expression (2x - 1)4 .what is the sum of the coefficients?

hintHint:

The binomial expansion is left parenthesis x plus y right parenthesis to the power of n equals sum from k equals 0 to n of   n C subscript k x to the power of n minus k end exponent y to the power of k comma text  here  end text n greater or equal than 0.
We are asked to expand the expression left parenthesis 2 x minus 1 right parenthesis to the power of 4 and find the sum of the coefficients.

The correct answer is: =16


     Step 1 of 3:
    The given expression is left parenthesis 2 x minus 1 right parenthesis to the power of 4 . Here, x equals 2 x straight & y equals negative 1. The value of n=4. Thus, there are 4+1=5 terms in the expansion.
    Step 2 of 3:
    Substitute the values in the expansion to get its terms. Thus, we have:

    table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell left parenthesis 2 x minus 1 right parenthesis to the power of 4 equals 4 C subscript 0 left parenthesis 2 x right parenthesis to the power of 4 plus 4 C subscript 1 left parenthesis 2 x right parenthesis cubed left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis plus 4 C subscript 2 left parenthesis 2 x right parenthesis squared left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis squared plus 4 C subscript 3 left parenthesis 2 x right parenthesis left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis cubed plus 4 C subscript 4 left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis to the power of 4 end cell row cell equals 16 x to the power of 4 plus 4 open parentheses 8 x cubed close parentheses left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis plus 6 open parentheses 4 x squared close parentheses left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis plus 4 left parenthesis 2 x right parenthesis left parenthesis negative 1 right parenthesis plus 1 end cell row cell equals 16 x to the power of 4 minus 32 x cubed plus 24 x squared minus 8 x plus 1 end cell end table
    Thus, the expansion is left parenthesis 2 x minus 1 right parenthesis to the power of 4 equals 16 x to the power of 4 minus 32 x cubed plus 24 x squared minus 8 x plus 1
    Step 3 of 3:
    To find the sum of the coefficients are :

    table attributes columnalign right left right left right left right left right left right left columnspacing 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em 2em 0em end attributes row cell 4 C subscript 0 plus 4 C subscript 1 plus 4 C subscript 2 plus 4 C subscript 3 plus 4 C subscript 4 equals 1 plus 4 plus 6 plus 4 plus 1 end cell row cell equals 16 end cell end table

    The answer can be also found using the Pascal’s triangle. For an expression (x + y)n , we would consider the (n+1)th row.
