What is Pascal's Triangle?

Back

Pascal's Triangle is a triangular array of numbers where each number is the sum of the two directly above it. It is used to find coefficients in binomial expansions.

What is the formula for binomial expansion?

Back

The binomial expansion of (a + b)^n is given by: \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k, where \binom{n}{k} is a binomial coefficient.

What is the binomial coefficient \binom{n}{k}?

Back

The binomial coefficient \binom{n}{k} represents the number of ways to choose k elements from a set of n elements, calculated as \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}.
