Expand (s+2v)^5.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Pascals triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have \[s^5+s^4v+s^3v^2+s^2v^3+sv^4+v^5\] but I don't understand how to use pascal's triangle to get the coeficients.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do I just use everything in the 5th row for s and v, but then multiply all the coeficients of v by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or the 10th row?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I chose the correct row, but there are two 10s and I didn;t notice that.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{red}{ (s+2v)^5=\color{blue}{(1)}s^5+\color{blue}{(5)}s^4(2v)^1+\color{blue}{(10)}s^3(2v)^2+\color{blue}{(10)}s^2(2v)^3+\color{blue}{(5)}s^1(2v)^4+\color{blue}{(1)}(2v)^5.\LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }}\) Sorry it is like this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[s^5+53^42v+10s^32v^2+10s^22v^3+5s2v^4+2v^5\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not 53 but 5s^4

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{red}{ (s+2v)^5=\color{blue}{(1)}s^5+\color{blue}{(5)}s^4(2v)^1+\color{blue}{(10)}s^3(2v)^2+\color{blue}{(10)}s^2(2v)^3+\color{blue}{(5)}s^1(2v)^4+\color{blue}{(1)}(2v)^5.\LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }}\) working the 1st 2 terms \(\normalsize\color{red}{ (s+2v)^5=s^5+10s^4v+\color{blue}{(10)}s^3(2v)^2+\color{blue}{(10)}s^2(2v)^3+\color{blue}{(5)}s^1(2v)^4+(2v)^5.\LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you understand how I am getting the first 2 terms (so far) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

taking the 2 from 2v in the second term and multiplying it with the 5s^4?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, and I am getting 10v^4. Good.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK, and the rest is the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or multiply the 2 onto the s in all of the terms?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{red}{ (s+2v)^5=s^5+10s^4v+\color{blue}{(10)}s^3(2v)^2+\color{blue}{(10)}s^2(2v)^3+\color{blue}{(5)}s^1(2v)^4+(2v)^5.\LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }}\) Continue to the 3rd term, I am raising (2v) to the second power. (2v)²=2² × v²=4v² \(\normalsize\color{red}{ (s+2v)^5=s^5+10s^4v+\color{blue}{(10)}s^3(4)v^2+\color{blue}{(10)}s^2(2v)^3+\color{blue}{(5)}s^1(2v)^4+(2v)^5.\LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }}\) \(\normalsize\color{red}{ (s+2v)^5=s^5+10s^4v+40s^3v^2+\color{blue}{(10)}s^2(2v)^3+\color{blue}{(5)}s^1(2v)^4+(2v)^5.\LARGE\color{white}{ \rm │ }}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Good with the third term ? Can you do the last 3 terms ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Show me term by term please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

s^5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10s^4v

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, those are the first 2. And the third term is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40s^3v^2?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Can you do the 4th term ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80s^2v^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80sv^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32v^5

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

CORRECT, 80s²v³ would be the 4th term

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

And the 5th term ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32v^5

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

forgetting the s....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[s^5+10s^4v+30s^3v^2+80s^2v^3+80sv^4+32v^5\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

32s^0v^5 for the 5th term?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes !

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you got it correctly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which simplifies to 32v^5

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes..... ! You can post latex on same line as the regular letters, try using `\(\normalsize\color{black}{ }\)`

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Copy paste the box, and type your thing in it, you will notice that you cantype on the same line as the box.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\normalsize\color{black}{?}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yes, but you can type on the same line right after that question mark (or whatever you put in it) UNLIKE the EQUATION EDITOR .

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{black}{ like }\) this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\normalsize\color{black}{x^2 }\) = \(\normalsize\color{black}{x(x) }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I can type egular letters after it, like \(\normalsize\color{black}{ No }\) I am not :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\normalsize\color{black}{O }\)K

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks \(\normalsize\color{black}{ :D }\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you can change the cor and fonts as well.... yw !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\normalsize\color{red}{:) }\)
