Example Questions

Example Question #131 : Polynomial Identities And Numerical Relationships: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Apr.C.4

Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the expression above?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The first step is to rewrite the problem as follows.



Now we multiply the first parts of the first and second expression together.



Now we multiply the first term  of the first expression with the second term of the second expression.



Now we multiply the second term of the first expression with the first term of the second expression.



Now we multiply the last terms of each expression together.



Now we add all these results together, and we get.

Example Question #1 : Using The Binomial Theorem For Expansion: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Apr.C.5

Use Pascal's Triangle to Expand, 

Possible Answers:

Not Possible

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to recall the formula for Pascal's Triangle.

Since the exponent in the question is 12 we can replace , with 12 .
