Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (2x-2y)^5

${(2 x - 2 y)}^{5}$

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

Expand the summation.

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

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

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

Step 4

Simplify the polynomial result.

$32 x^{5} - 160 x^{4} y + 320 x^{3} y^{2} - 320 x^{2} y^{3} + 160 x y^{4} - 32 y^{5}$
