Hi;

By the binomial theorem or Pascals triangle





Now just substitute for a and b


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.

Re: binomial thereom

hi cooljackiec



The term with c^3 will be



The term in (a+2b)^3 with ab^2 will be



So the coefficient you want will be:

Re: binomial thereom

Hey cooljackiec!

You might google "multinomial coefficients" and check out some of the sites to see how to easily
obtain the coefficient of the ab^2c^3 term in (a+2b+3c)^6.  I'm guessing that that is where bobbym
got his answer.


Writing "pretty" math (two dimensional) is easier to read and grasp than LaTex (one dimensional).
LaTex is like painting on many strips of paper and then stacking them to see what picture they make.
