Question

write each polynomial is standard form. pascals triangle can be used as a tool, if desired.

  1. ( p(x)=(x + 1)^{5} ) 13. ( p(x)=(x - y)^{3} )
  2. ( p(x)=(x - 1)^{4} ) 15. ( p(x)=(x + 4)^{3} )
  3. ( p(x)=(x + 2)^{4} ) 17. ( p(x)=(3x + 1)^{3} )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the binomial expansion formula

The binomial expansion of \((x + a)^n=\sum_{k = 0}^{n}\binom{n}{k}x^{n - k}a^{k}\), where \(\binom{n}{k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}\). For \(n = 3\), \((x + a)^3=x^{3}+3ax^{2}+3a^{2}x + a^{3}\). In the case of \(p(x)=(x - y)^3\), we have \(a=-y\).

Step2: Substitute \(a=-y\) into the binomial expansion formula

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Step3: Recall the binomial expansion formula for \(n = 4\)

From the table, \((x + a)^4=x^{4}+4ax^{3}+6a^{2}x^{2}+4a^{3}x + a^{4}\). For \(p(x)=(x + 2)^4\), we have \(a = 2\).

Step4: Substitute \(a = 2\) into the binomial expansion formula

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Step5: Recall the binomial expansion formula for \(n = 3\) again

For \(p(x)=(3x + 1)^3\), where \(x\) in the binomial formula is \(3x\) and \(a = 1\). Using \((u + v)^3=u^{3}+3u^{2}v+3uv^{2}+v^{3}\), with \(u = 3x\) and \(v = 1\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Answer:

  1. \(p(x)=x^{3}-3yx^{2}+3y^{2}x - y^{3}\)
  2. \(p(x)=x^{4}+8x^{3}+24x^{2}+32x + 16\)
  3. \(p(x)=27x^{3}+27x^{2}+9x + 1\)
