Question

Which one of the following options is true when considering the expansion of

the binomial expression (x + y)6?
A. The first term of the expansion of (x + y)^6 is x3y3.
B. The coefficients of the expansion of (x + y) are: 1,6, 15, 15, 6, 1.
c. The expansion of (x + y)^6 will yield 7 terms.
D. The sum of the exponents of each term of the expansion of
(x + y)^6 is 5

Answer 1

c The expansion of (x + y)^6 will yield 7 terms

Explanation:

(x + y)^6 =

x^6 +6x^5y + 15x^4y^2 + 20x^3y^3 + 15x^2y^4 + 6xy^5 + y^6

so its a no on A

its a no on B because its missing a 20

its a yes on c

its a no on d because the sum is 6

so c
