Question 1081187: Which of the following has no middle term and explain why.
(a) (x+y) raised to 3
(b) (u+v) raised to 6
(c) (a-b) raised to 4
(d) (x-y) raised to 8 Answer by Edwin McCravy(20063) (Show Source):
Only an ODD number of things has a MIDDLE thing.
Only an EVEN power of a binomial has an ODD number of terms.
From that information you can answer the question and why.
