You only need to be able to geton your calculator. On the TI-84, suppose you wanted, say for example, 9C3 On the cleared main screen, type the value of n (in this example 9) Press MATH Press the left arrow Press 3 type the value of r (in this example 3) You should see --> 9 nCr 3 Press ENTER (in this example you get 84) ------------------------------------------- Now we'll set up the terms of the binomial expansion for: There is always one more term than the exponent. The emponet is 5. So there are 6 terms: 1st term: 2nd term: 3rd term: 4th term: 5th term: 6th term: Observe that pattern carefully so you can do other binomial expansion problems. Simplifying 1st term: Simplifying 2nd term: Simplifying 3rd term: Simplifying 4th term: Simplifying 5th term: Simplifying 6th term: So: Edwin
