The video tutorial explains how to find a single term in a binomial expansion using the binomial theorem. It introduces the formula for finding the r-th term and highlights patterns that simplify the process. Two examples are provided: calculating the fifth term in the expansion of (2x + 3)^7 and the fourth term in the expansion of (3x - 5)^9. The tutorial demonstrates the use of combinations and factorials to simplify calculations, ensuring the sum of exponents equals the binomial's power.

What is the formula used to find a single term in a binomial expansion?

• n choose r times X^(n-r) times Y^r

• n choose r-1 times X^(n-r+1) times Y^(r-1)

• n choose r times X^r times Y^(n-r)

• n choose r-1 times X^r times Y^(n-r+1)
