Use pascal's triangle to find the coefficient of the term

The video tutorial explains how to use Pascal's Triangle to find coefficients in binomial expansions. It begins with an introduction to the concept and demonstrates how to find specific terms with given exponents. The tutorial then provides a step-by-step guide to constructing Pascal's Triangle and using it for binomial expansion. It concludes with a discussion of alternative methods, such as using a calculator, to find coefficients.

What is the purpose of using Pascal's triangle in binomial expansion?

• To find the coefficients of terms

• To determine the degree of the polynomial
