What is the Binomial Theorem used to expand?

  • (𝑎 + 𝑏)𝑛 when n is a negative integer
  • (𝑎 + 𝑏)𝑛 when n is a rational integer
  • (𝑎 + 𝑏)𝑛 when n is a prime number
  • (𝑎 + 𝑏)𝑛 when n is a positive integer (correct)

According to the binomial theorem, what is the expansion of (𝑎 + 𝑏)𝑛?

  • $rac{n}{2} 𝐶𝑟 𝑏 𝑟 𝑎𝑛−𝑟$
  • $𝑎^n + 𝑏^n$
  • $𝐶𝑟 𝑏 𝑟 𝑎𝑛−𝑟$ (correct)
  • $𝐶𝑟 𝑏 𝑟 𝑎^n−r$

What does the sum of the exponents of a and b in each term equal in the binomial expansion?
