Question

1. In the binomial theorem expression, what is the value of n?

a.The value of n is the same as the value of k.
b.The value of n is equal to the first term of the binomial.
c.The value of n is equal to the exponent on the binomial.
d.The value of n is not needed to use the binomial theorem.

Answer 1

c. The value of n is equal to the exponent on the binomial.

Explanation:

In the binomial theorem, the expression is of the form (a + b)^n, where a and b are constants and n is a non-negative integer, which represents the degree or the exponent of the binomial. The binomial theorem provides a formula for expanding this expression into a sum of terms involving powers of a and b, and the coefficients of these terms are given by the binomial coefficients. Therefore, the value of n is a crucial part of the binomial theorem and is equal to the exponent on the binomial.
