Question 72454: Determine the constant term in the expansion of (2x-2/5x^2)^8.
I am doing this math independently. I have looked through my textbooks, but cannot find what a consant term is. I have expanded this by binomial expansion but there is not one constant term in the solution as all constants are differnt numbers with differnt x values.
Thank you
Kristen
