1.7.1 Binomial expansion

Calculate 5!5!5!.

A

In (1+x)n(1+x)^n(1+x)n, the coefficient of x2x^2x2 for rational nnn is n(n−1)2!\boxed{\displaystyle \frac{n(n-1)}{2!}}2!n(n−1)​​.

B

(−3x)r(-3x)^r(−3x)r produces the correct alternating signs.

C

A non-terminating expansion of (a+bx)n(a+bx)^n(a+bx)n is valid only when ∣bxa∣<1\boxed{\displaystyle \left|\frac{bx}{a}\right|<1}​abx​​<1​.
