What is the complete binomial expansion for (x^4 − y)^5?
There will be 6 terms, seeing that the binomial is raised to the 5rd power

 ------ Binomial Expansion formula, for 6 terms



With this being a 5th power binomial, the COMBINATION values in the formula will be the values in the 6th row of PASCAL'S TRIANGLE, which are: 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, and 1.

Therefore,  becomes:
