binomial expansion\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1
\n" ); document.write( "1 2 1
\n" ); document.write( "1 3 3 1
\n" ); document.write( "1;; 4;; 6 ;; 4; 1
\n" ); document.write( "1; 5; 10;; 10 ;;5;; 1
\n" ); document.write( "1 ;;6;; 15;; 20;; 15;; 6 ;;1
\n" ); document.write( "1 ;;7 ;;21;; 35;; 35;; 21;; 7;; 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(2x) is the leading term
\n" ); document.write( "The first term is (2x)^7
\n" ); document.write( "The second term is 7 (2x)^6
\n" ); document.write( "The x^3 term is the fifth number in the sequence
\n" ); document.write( "it is 35 (2x)^3\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember that the 2 has to be cubed as well
\n" ); document.write( "So the term involving x^3 is 280 x^3
