Pascal's Triangle Levels

The 0th level (0th power) of Pascal's Triangle is represented by a single value: 1.
The 1st level (1st power) expands to 1 1, displaying the coefficients for the expansion of (a+b)^1.
At the 2nd level (2nd power), the triangle shows 1 2 1, corresponding to the coefficients for (a+b)^2.

Expansion of Powers

The 3rd level (3rd power) features coefficients 1 3 3 1, used for (a+b)^3.
For the 4th level (4th power), the triangle reads 1 4 6 4 1, indicating coefficients for (a+b)^4.
The 5th level (5th power) is represented as 1 5 10 10 5 1, linked to (a+b)^5.

Further Expansion

The 6th level (6th power) presents 1 6 15 20 15 6 1, showing coefficients for (a+b)^6.
The 7th level (7th power) ends with 1 7 21 35 35 21 7 1, which corresponds to (a+b)^7.

General Pattern

Each level of Pascal's Triangle corresponds to the binomial coefficients of the polynomial expansions, showcasing a symmetrical pattern where each row begins and ends with 1, with intermediate values summing from the two values directly above in the previous row.
