OpenStudy (savvy):
since nCr starts from r=0 and goes till r=n there are n+1 terms....clearly 1st term is when r=0, second when r=1 and so on....similarly 6th term would be when r=5 which means it is [12C5]x^7(-12y)^5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So would that be -25,344x^7y^5?
OpenStudy (savvy):
yeah if 12C5 is equal to 25,334
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how can I figure out what 12C5 is equal to?
OpenStudy (savvy):
12C5 = (12!)/[(5!)(7!)]......YOU CAN ALWAYS CALCULATE THAT....IT IS A LONG STORY THOUGH....
