Question

*************************************************
So I need a bit of help. I am a bit confuzzled...
*************************************************

Answer 1

Can you input an equation like for example,
(x + 5)^6 into a calculator? So it could expand it instead of using the Binomial Theorem or Pascal's Triangle?

Answer 2

P.S. I know how to do it manually okay :)

Answer 3

@completeidiot

Answer 4

sorry, no idea

never tried

Answer 5

hmmm...

Answer 6

lol okay thank you anyway :)
thanx for your time :3

Answer 7

I can graph it on my ti83 using the "y=" thingy... :-)

Answer 8

would that expand it though?

Answer 9

Not as a graphing function.

I don't know if a program could be written (for the ti83) to do that or not.

Answer 10

for example something like \((x + 5)^4\)

Answer 11

can one do that using a calculator?

Answer 12

Well, I've never seen a button for it :-)

Best I could do is graph it.

Answer 13

hmm.. thanx though :)

Answer 14

Might need a program to show the expansion, a program using Pascal's algorithm.

Answer 15

Answer 16

@nincompoop

Answer 17

You would need a program to do an expansion.

Answer 18

Most modern scientific calculators cannot expand. The Ti- N spire can expand.

Answer 19

oh okay.
so it would not be possible to accomplish on a scientific calculator right?

Answer 20

I think.

Answer 21

The N-spire can expand I think.
