Question

Use the binomial theorem to expand the expressions:
left parenthesis 3 x minus 0.2 right parenthesis cubed

The correct answer is: (3x - 0.2)^3 = 27x^3 - 5.4x^2 + 0.36x - 0.008


    ANSWER:
    Hint:
    The binomial expansion isleft parenthesis straight x plus straight y right parenthesis to the power of straight n equals sum from straight k equals 0 to straight n of   nC subscript straight k straight x to the power of straight n minus straight k end exponent straight y to the power of straight k comma text  here  end text straight n greater or equal than 0 ,
    We are asked to find the expansion of left parenthesis 3 x minus 0.2 right parenthesis cubed  using Binomial theorem.
    Step 1 of 2:
    The given expression isleft parenthesis 3 x minus 0.2 right parenthesis cubed. Here , the value of n = 3 so the number of terms are 3+1 = 4.
    The values are x equals 3 x straight & y equals negative 0.2
    Step 2 of 2:
    Substitute the values in the binomial equation to get the expansion;

    Thus, the expansion is Error converting from MathML to accessible text.
    Note:
    The answer can also be found using the Pascal’s triangle. For the expansion of the expression (x+y)n , we would consider the (n+1)th row in the triangle.
