Answer:

The answer is

81x⁴ + 216x³ + 216x² + 94x + 16

Explanation:

(3x + 2)⁴

Using the Pascal's triangle

For an exponent of 4 we have

( a + b)⁴ = a⁴ + 4a³b + 6a²b² + 4ab³ + b³

Using a = 3x and b = 2 we have

( 3x +2)⁴ = ( 3x)⁴ + 4 [ (3x)³(2) ] + 6[ (3x)²(2)²] + 4 [ 3x(2)³ ] + 2⁴

Expand and simplify

That's

➢ ( 3x +2)⁴ = 81x⁴ + 4[ (27x³)(2) ] + 6 [ (9x²)(4) ] + 4 [ 3x(8) ] + 16

➢ 81x⁴ 4( 54x³) + 6(36x²) + 4( 24x) + 16

We have the final answer as

81x⁴ + 216x³ + 216x² + 94x + 16

Hope this helps you
