\[(2m+n ^{3})^{12}\]
OpenStudy (osanseviero):
Ive thought of using factorials, n will be 12 and r will be 5
OpenStudy (osanseviero):
so...i dont know, would that be correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
6 is going to be r
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes osanseviero u can ans the question by solving it through fragments..:)

fragments i.e factorials.
OpenStudy (osanseviero):
but should r be the element I want -1: (6-1=5)
OpenStudy (osanseviero):
or it should be 6 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
r = 6 so isnt it 12 C 6, so 12! / (6!6!) whatever that is
OpenStudy (osanseviero):
ok, thanks...

are you sure that r is not the number you want minus 1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah r is not anything minus 1. r is the _th term in the sequence that you're trying to find the coefficient of. so the coefficient is nCr
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the formula is n! / r!(n-r)!
OpenStudy (osanseviero):
So that would be \[924a ^{6}b ^{6}\]...obviously a will be 2m and b the other one..is that correct?

There's always Pacal's Triange . . . ;-)
