Binomial Theorem

The expansion of can also be determined by the Binomial Theorem

An easier notation of this would be:

Find the fifth term of

1st: determine n and r (Since r increases from 0 to n, r is one less than the number of the term):

2nd: Put it together in Sigma notation

3rd: the first part of the Binomial Theorem can be done in the calculator using nCr: Type n, then Math PRB 3: nCr, then type r

4th: Finish the last part of the Binomial Theorem

Find the coefficient of in the expansion of
