Question

Help!!! QUICK! What is the pattern of the exponents on the a terms in Pascal's Triangle?

A. The largest exponent value of the a terms is equal to one more than the value of the exponent on the binomial. The exponent values then decrease from left to right.


B. The largest exponent value of the a terms is equal to the value of the exponent on the binomial. The exponent values then decrease from left to right.


C. The largest exponent value of the a terms is equal to the value of the exponent on the binomial. The exponent values are then equal to 0 throughout the expansion.


D.The largest exponent value of the a terms is equal to one more than the value of the exponent on the binomial. The exponent values are then equal to 1 throughout the expansion.

Answer 1

B. The largest exponent value of the a terms is equal to the value of the exponent on the binomial. The exponent values then decrease from left to right.

Explanation:

The exponent values of the a terms increase from one side of the binomial to the other. The value of the largest exponent is equal to part of the binomial expression.
