Build and connect the representations and methods in binomial expansions.

Learning goals
  • Use binomial expansions and interpret their terms
Syllabus statements covered
  • Use of the Binomial Theorem for positive integer n • Use of the notations n! and binomial coefficient (n choose r) • Use of the general term (n choose r)a^(n−r)b^r, 0 ≤ r ≤ n (knowledge of the greatest term and properties of the coefficients is not required)
