document.write( "i cant figure out how to get the formula. the book says that the co-efficients of this problem will come out to 1 5 10 10 1. with giving me those numbers i still dont know how to put them all together and come up with a formula to begin working the problem. when the book gives me the formula : a^5+5a^4b+10a^3b^2+10a^2b^3+5ab^4+b^5  , i can plug the equations in, but if i am taking a test i wouldnt know where to begin to get the formula. Please help. </SPAN>\n" );
