Question 4
Consider the expansion of (x+y)' shown in part a below.
a. The coefficients of three terms in the expansion are missing. Insert the missing coefficients, "C,, in
front of the terms.
(x + y)² = °C ₂ x²\x³° + °G₁x²³1 ² +_ _ _\x³²x² + x³ + ₂x²y* + G₂x³ + x² + x³y²
b. Hence show that the sum of the coefficients in the expansion above equals 2¹.
c. Write down the first three terms and the last three terms of the expansion of (x + y) where n is a
natural number greater than 2.
