Expand and Simplify Each of These Expressions, Using FOIL If Needed: (X + 1) (X + 1) (X + 1) (X + 1) (X + 1)

(x + 1)0 = 1 (x + 1)1 = x + 1 (x + 1)2 = x^2 + 2x + 1 (x + 1)3 = x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1 (x + 1)4 = x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 1 The document introduces Pascal's triangle and binomial expansions, and asks the reader to expand and simplify binomial expressions like (x + 1)^n, predict what (x + 1)^5 would be, and expand more complex expressions like (2a + 1)^5 and (4m + 1)^6

MCR3U Introduction to Pascal's Triangle and 

Binomial Expansions
Expand and simplify each of these expressions, using FOIL if 
needed:

(x + 1)0
(x + 1)1
(x + 1)2
(x + 1)3
(x + 1)4

Using any patterns that you might recognize, try to predict what (x + 1)5 would 
expand and simplify to ...

1
Pascal's Triangle

2
How about if we have an expression such as (2a + 1)5?

3
Try this one on your own now ...  (4m + 1)6

And one more ....(­2b + 1)
