Binomial Multiplication, idk what is done!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (chaise):

Use the formula.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

i marked the step which is messing up with me!

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

expand the terms

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

like when we multiply them, the terms are getting less.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(a+b)^2 = a^1 + 2ab + b^2 right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

except for the typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\begin{eqnarray*} (1-10x+40x^2+...)(1+27x+324x^2+...&=&(1)(1+27x+324x^2+...)-10x(1+27x+324x^2+...)+40x^2(1+27x+324x^2+...) \\ &=&(1+27x+324x^2+...)-10x(1+27x+...)+40x^2(1+...) \end{eqnarray*} since powers larger than x^2 are ignored.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's why they're becoming less... powers greater than x^2 are ignored.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\begin{array}c &&&&&&1\\ &&&&&1&&1\\ &&&&1&&2&&1\\ &&&1&&3&&3&&1\\ &&1&&4&&6&&4&&1\\ &1&&5&&10&&10&&5&&1\\ 1&&6&&15&&20&&15&&6&&1 \end{array} pascals triangle

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

why?? why are they ignored?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because the question asks you to write down the first three terms, so x^0, x^1 and x^2 only are needed.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

brb.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

why that is not happening?q

OpenStudy (amistre64):

.... i never really tried multiply binomial stuff together tho ..

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

why that is not happening??? i mean that multiplication?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look: (1-10x+40x^2+...)(1+27x+324x^2+...) =(1)(1-27x+324x^2+...) -10x(1-27x+324x^2+...) +40x^2(1+27x+324x^2+...) +... Now first multiplication is needed completely, since all powers will still be x^2 or less. But second multiplication is needed only up till 27x, since 10x times 324x^2 is a cubic, so is not needed. In the third multiplication, only 40x^2 times 1 is needed since all the others are cubics or higher. Clearer now? :)

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

u here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Oh Alright: (1−10x+40x2+...)(1+27x+324x2+...==(1)(1+27x+324x2+...)−10x(1+27x+324x2+...)+40x2(1+27x+324x2+...)(1+27x+324x2+...)−10x(1+27x+...)+40x2(1+...) that step of yours is right, it's with dots. Like in my book there are no dots, that thing confused me.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Cool, thanks. :]
