The last three terms of the given binomial expansion are 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵
<h3>Binomial expansion</h3>From the question, we are to determine the last three terms of the binomial expansion 32x⁵ + 80x⁴y + 80x³y² + __ + __ + __
The highest power of the expansion is 5
Using the binomial expansion theorem
(m +n)⁵ = m⁵ + 5m⁴n + 10m³n² + 10m²n³ + 5mn⁴ + n⁵
Now, we will determine the values of m and n by comparison
By comparison,
m⁵ = 32x⁵
m⁵ = (2x)⁵
∴ m = 2x
Also,
5m⁴n = 80x⁴y
Divide both sides by 5, to get
m⁴n = 16x⁴y
Put m = 2x into the equation
(2x)⁴n = 16x⁴y
16x⁴n = 16x⁴y
∴ n = y
Thus, the expression being expanded is (2x + y)⁵
By binomial expansion, the expansion of (2x + y)⁵ is
(2x + y)⁵ = (2x)⁵ + 5(2x)⁴y + 10(2x)³(y)² + 10(2x)²(y)³ + 5(2x)(y)⁴ + y⁵
(2x + y)⁵ = 32x⁵ + (5×16)x⁴y + (10×8)x³(y)² + (10×4)x²(y)³ + (5×2)x(y)⁴ + y⁵
(2x + y)⁵ = 32x⁵ + 80x⁴y + 80x³y² + 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵
Hence, the last three terms of the given binomial expansion are 40x²y³ + 10xy⁴ + y⁵
