Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (2x-3y)^3

${(2 x - 3 y)}^{3}$

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

Expand the summation.

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

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{3} \cdot {(- 3 y)}^{0} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(- 3 y)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 3 y)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 3 y)}^{3}$
