Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (1+2x^3)^5

${(1 + 2 x^{3})}^{5}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{5} \frac{5!}{(5 - k)! k!} \cdot {(1)}^{5 - k} \cdot {(2 x^{3})}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{5!}{(5 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(1)}^{5 - 0} \cdot {(2 x^{3})}^{0} + \frac{5!}{(5 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(1)}^{5 - 1} \cdot {(2 x^{3})}^{1} + \dots + \frac{5!}{(5 - 5)! 5!} \cdot {(1)}^{5 - 5} \cdot {(2 x^{3})}^{5}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(1)}^{5} \cdot {(2 x^{3})}^{0} + 5 \cdot {(1)}^{4} \cdot {(2 x^{3})}^{1} + \dots + 1 \cdot {(1)}^{0} \cdot {(2 x^{3})}^{5}$

Step 4

Simplify the polynomial result.

$1 + 10 x^{3} + 40 x^{6} + 80 x^{9} + 80 x^{12} + 32 x^{15}$
