We have to find the expansion of (3a+4b)^{8}

We will use binomial expansion to expand the given expression, which states that the expression (a+b)^{n} is expanded as :

(a+b)^{n}=^{n}C_{0}a^{n}+^{n}C_{1}a^{n-1}b+^{n}C_{2}a^{n-2}b^{2}+........^{n}C_{n}b^{n}

Now expanding (3a+4b)^{8} we get,

(3a+4b)^{8}=^{8}C_{0}(3a)^{8}+^{8}C_{1}(3a)^{7}(4b)+^{8}C_{2}(3a)^{6}(4b)^{2}+^{8}C_{3}(3a)^{5}(4b)^{3}+^{8}C_{4}(3a)^{4}(4b)^{4}+^{8}C_{5}(3a)^{3}(4b)^{5}+^{8}C_{6}(3a)^{2}(4b)^{6}+^{8}C_{7}(3a)(4b)^{7}+^{8}C_{8}(4b)^{8}

(3a+4b)^{8}=^{8}C_{0}(3)^{8}a^{8}+^{8}C_{1}(3)^{7}(4)(a^{7}b)+^{8}C_{2}(3)^{6}(4)^{2}(a^{6}b^{2})+^{8}C_{3}(3)^{5}(4)^{3}(a^{5}b^{3})+^{8}C_{4}(3)^{4}(4)^{4}(a^{4}b^{4})+^{8}C_{5}(3)^{3}(4)^{5}(a^{3}b^{5})+^{8}C_{6}(3)^{2}(4)^{6}(a^{2}b^{6})+^{8}C_{7}(3)(4)^{7}(ab^{7})+^{8}C_{8}(4)^{8}(b^{8})

So, the variables are a^{5}b^{3} , b^{8} , a^{4}b^{4} , a^{8}  , [tex] ab^{7}

How are the expressions 8-15 and 8-(-15)?how are they different?
zmey [24]

8 - 15 means subtract the positive number 15 from 8.

8 - 15 = 8 + (-15) = -7

8 - (-15) means subtract the negative number -15 from 8.

Subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number.

8 - (-15) = 8 + 15 = 23

8 - 15 = -7, and 8 - (-15) = 23. The expressions mean different operations and have different answers.
