<span>binomial </span>is an algebraic expression containing 2 terms. For example, (x + y) is a binomial.
We sometimes need to expand binomials as follows:
(a + b)0 = 1
(a + b)1 = a + b
(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
<span>(a + b)4</span> <span>= a4 + 4a3b</span><span> + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4</span>
<span>(a + b)5</span> <span>= a5 + 5a4b</span> <span>+ 10a3b2</span><span> + 10a2b3 + 5ab4 + b5</span>
Clearly, doing this by direct multiplication gets quite tedious and can be rather difficult for larger powers or more complicated expressions.
Pascal's Triangle
We note that the coefficients (the numbers in front of each term) follow a pattern. [This was noticed long before Pascal, by the Chinese.]
1
1 1
1 2 1
1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
1 5 10 10 5 1
1 6 15 20 15 6 1
You can use this pattern to form the coefficients, rather than multiply everything out as we did above.
The Binomial Theorem
We use the binomial theorem to help us expand binomials to any given power without direct multiplication. As we have seen, multiplication can be time-consuming or even not possible in some cases.

Answer:
The answer is 5.
Since he has 3 part chocolate all he has 18 cups left. You can keep adding 3 till you get 18 and how many ever groups you have with 3 (which is 5 groups) is the answer.
