Answer:

The exponents of a start at n and decrease until they reach 0 . The exponents of b start at 0 and increase until they reach n

Explanation:

The general formula for
(a+b)^n is:


a^n + C_1a^(n-1)b + C_2a^(n-2)b^2 + ... + C_(n-1)a^2b^(n-2) + C_nab^(n-1) + b^n

Therefore, the exponents of a start at n and decrease until they reach 0 . The exponents of b start at 0 and increase until they reach n
