^2 − 216
x + 81
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. ∑
∑The binomial theorem states ( a + b ) n = n ∑ k = 0 n C k ⋅ ( a n − k b k ) . 4 ∑ k = 0 4 ! ( 4 − k ) ! k ! ⋅ ( 2 x ) 4 − k ⋅ ( − 3 ) k
Expand the summation. 4 ! ( 4 − 0 ) ! 0 ! ⋅ ( 2 x ) 4 − 0 ⋅ ( − 3 ) 0 + 4 ! ( 4 − 1 ) ! 1 ! ⋅ ( 2 x ) 4 − 1 ⋅ ( − 3 ) + 4 ! ( 4 − 2 ) ! 2 ! ⋅ ( 2 x ) 4 − 2 ⋅ ( − 3 ) 2 + 4 ! ( 4 − 3 ) ! 3 ! ⋅ ( 2 x ) 4 − 3 ⋅ ( − 3 ) 3 + 4 ! ( 4 − 4 ) ! 4 ! ⋅ ( 2 x ) 4 − 4 ⋅ ( − 3 ) 4
Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion. 1 ⋅ ( 2 x ) 4 ⋅ ( − 3 ) 0 + 4 ⋅ ( 2 x ) 3 ⋅ ( − 3 ) + 6 ⋅ ( 2 x ) 2 ⋅ ( − 3 ) 2 + 4 ⋅ ( 2 x ) ⋅ ( − 3 ) 3 + 1 ⋅ ( 2 x ) 0 ⋅ ( − 3 ) 4
Simplify each term.
