First of all, it’ll have to be determined what TERM number produces .\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Since the exponent on the binomial is 14, it follows that there will be 15 (FIFTEEN) terms, and the term number containing  will be the 15th – 11th term, or the 4th term.\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "To find a specific term in a BINOMIAL EXPANSION, we use the following formula: 
\n" );
document.write( ", where r = term number 
\n" );
document.write( "\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "As seen above, the 4th term of the sequence will have the following coefficient on x: . This results in:   
\n" );
document.write( "You could also check PASCAL’S triangle and look for the coefficient for the 4th term of a BINOMIAL EXPANSION with a binomial that’s being raised to the 14th power. 
\n" );
document.write( "This is 364. \n" );
