i think you mean expand?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we can use a binmial exapnsion if we wanna get fancy

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or since its small enough; just use pascals triangle with 1 5 10 10 5 1 as your primary coefficients

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[x^5 +5x^4y+ 10x^3y^2 +10x^2y^3 +5xy^4 +y^5\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or just cycle thru the C(n,r)s for coefficients: C(5,n)

thanks, i meant expand
