What is the easiest way to simplify (X+2)^50 without the pascal's triangle.

Question

anonymous · Answer

wolfram alpha

nnesha · Answer

i don't think there is another way ._.

nnesha · Answer

lol true

solomonzelman · Answer

Or maybe to just not do it?

anonymous · Answer

i would go with "not do it"

anonymous · Answer

btw there is no such mathematical operation as "simplify"
 $(x+2)^{50}$ is to my mind way way simpler than whatever you get when you "expand" which is probably what you meant

anonymous · Answer

So if I were asked in a test, I would have a make an extremely big pascal's triangle in order to solve it?

solomonzelman · Answer

You would not be asked that in a NORMAL school

anonymous · Answer

no 
you would say "i do not have room on this paper, nor time in this day, to expand this"

nnesha · Answer

you will not see that on test 
100% sure

nnesha · Answer

a*

solomonzelman · Answer

you will see 50, but without a zero.

anonymous · Answer

is there no formula for this?

anonymous · Answer

sure there is

nnesha · Answer

there wouldn't be any question abt pascal's triangle on a FINAL EXAM

anonymous · Answer

Im just asking if there's like a question like ( X + Y ) ^1000 how would I be able to solve it if i was told me do it.

anonymous · Answer

$$(a+b)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}a^{n-k}b^k$$

anonymous · Answer

oh.. LOL

anonymous · Answer

I guess that is probably not going to appear in any of my test.

nnesha · Answer

if it's pre-calc then don't worry.
the possible highest degree would be n <10
