• A difference of two terms

In the binomial theorem, what determines the coefficients of the terms?

• The sum of the terms

• The combinations

• The power of the expansion

How does the power of 'a' change in the binomial expansion?

• It remains constant

• It increases with each term

• It alternates between increasing and decreasing

• It decreases with each term

What is the pattern for the power of 'b' in the binomial expansion?

• It starts at zero and increases

• It alternates between increasing and decreasing

• It remains constant

What is the result of expanding (a + b)^3 using the binomial theorem?

• a^3 + 2a^2b + 2ab^2 + b^3
