Question

Expand the function. 4 f(x) = (2x + 3)4

Answer 1

Answer:

16 x ^4  −  96 x^ 3  +  216 x ^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.

= 16 x ^4  −  96 x^ 3  +  216 x ^2  −  216 x  +  81

Answer 2

Just divide both sides and write it in parametric from and you get
