  3. The Binomial Theorem The Binomial Theorem is a formula used for expanding powers of binomials. Each term of the answer is the product of three first-degree factors. For each term of the answer, an a and/or b is taken from each first-degree factor. (a + b)3 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b) = • The first term has no b. It is like choosing no b from three b’s. • The combination • The second term has one b. It is like choosing one b from three b’s. • The combination • The third term has two b’s. It is like choosing two b’s from three • b’s. The combination. • The fourth term has three b’s. It is like choosing three b’s from • three b’s. The combination (a + b)3 7.5.3

  5. Binomial Expansion - the General Term (a + b)3= a3 + 3a2b+ 3ab2 + b3 The degree of each term is 3. For the variable a, the degree descends from 3 to 0. For the variable b, the degree ascends from 0 to 3. (a + b)3= 3C0a3 - 0b0 + 3C1a3 - 1b1+ 3C2a3 - 2b2 + 3C3a3 - 3b3 7.5.5
