The correct Answer is:
To find the expansion of \((y + x)^n\) using the Binomial Theorem, we follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Binomial Theorem The Binomial Theorem states that: \[ (a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k \] where \(\binom{n}{k}\) is the binomial coefficient, which can be calculated as \(\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}\). ### Step 2: Identify \(a\) and \(b\) In our case, we have: - \(a = y\) - \(b = x\) ### Step 3: Write the Expansion Using the Binomial Theorem, we can write the expansion of \((y + x)^n\) as: \[ (y + x)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} y^{n-k} x^k \] ### Step 4: Expand the Summation Now, we can explicitly write out the terms of the summation: \[ (y + x)^n = \binom{n}{0} y^n x^0 + \binom{n}{1} y^{n-1} x^1 + \binom{n}{2} y^{n-2} x^2 + \ldots + \binom{n}{n-1} y^1 x^{n-1} + \binom{n}{n} y^0 x^n \] ### Step 5: Write the Final Expansion Thus, the complete expansion is: \[ (y + x)^n = \binom{n}{0} y^n + \binom{n}{1} y^{n-1} x + \binom{n}{2} y^{n-2} x^2 + \binom{n}{3} y^{n-3} x^3 + \ldots + \binom{n}{n-1} y x^{n-1} + \binom{n}{n} x^n \] ### Final Result The expansion of \((y + x)^n\) is: \[ (y + x)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} y^{n-k} x^k \]
