Question

Recall that the binomial theorem states that for any integer n > 0 and variables x and y, then

 

n
(x + y)" = >
kyn-k.
k=0
a. Compute the coefficient of x³y4 in the expansion of (3x – 4y)7.
b. What is the constant coefficient of (x2 – 1/x)15?
c. One can write (V3 + 2)50 in the form av3 + b for integers a and b.
Given formulas for a and b in terms of binomial coefficients.
