PLEASE HELP> Use the binomial theorem to find the binomial expansion of the given expression. (2x-3y)^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use the formula :) nCr (2x)^r-1(-3y)r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r is the power :) so u strt from 0 to 5. n will be 5 throughout

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

What does the r stand for?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I mean C.*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C is the part of formula. do you have scientific calculator?

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

no but i can use an online one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okie u see its clearly written on the button nCr u press that on some shift button has to be used first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://www.picalc.com/ theres ncr on this one

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

can you show me using this? https://mathway.com/

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I'm pretty confused. What you wrote on a paper, i plug it into the calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can find the nCr function on that one :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all u have to plug into the calculator is to find the value of nCr. okie Look. binomial theorem is a formula. it has nCr in it. n is always the power of the whole thing in the brackets. So in this one its 5 so it will remain 5. r on the other hand is the the range from 0-5 cuz the max power is 5 in this one. so using the formula nCr (2x)^r-1(-3y)^r u will expand the expression

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

nevermind I got help in wolfram! thank you so much for the help!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :)
