x⁶ + 12x⁵ + 60x⁴ + 160x³ + 240x² + 192x + 64
Step-by-step explanation:
We shall expand the brackets;
(x + 2)^6
x⁶ + x⁵2 + x⁴2² + x³2³ + x²2⁴ + x2⁵ + 2⁶
x⁶ + 2x⁵ + 4x⁴ + 8x³ + 16x² + 32x + 64
We shall then use Pascal’s triangle to fit in the coefficients;
(1) x⁶ + (6) 2x⁵ + (15) 4x⁴ + (20) 8x³ + (15) 16x² + (6) 32x + (1) 64
x⁶ + 12x⁵ + 60x⁴ + 160x³ + 240x² + 192x + 64
