Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (2x-7y)^2

${(2 x - 7 y)}^{2}$

Step 1

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

$\sum_{k = 0}^{2} \frac{2!}{(2 - k)! k!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{2 - k} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{2!}{(2 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{2 - 0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{0} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{2 - 1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{2 - 2} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Step 4

Simplify each term.

Multiply ${(2 x)}^{2}$ by $1$ .

${(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $2 x$ .

$2^{2} x^{2} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Raise $2$ to the power of $2$ .

$4 x^{2} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $- 7 y$ .

$4 x^{2} \cdot ({(- 7)}^{0} y^{0}) + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$4 \cdot {(- 7)}^{0} x^{2} y^{0} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$4 \cdot 1 x^{2} y^{0} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $4$ by $1$ .

$4 x^{2} y^{0} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$4 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $4$ by $1$ .

$4 x^{2} + 2 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Simplify.

$4 x^{2} + 2 \cdot (2 x) \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $2$ by $2$ .

$4 x^{2} + 4 x \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Simplify.

$4 x^{2} + 4 x \cdot (- 7 y) + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$4 x^{2} + 4 \cdot - 7 x y + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $4$ by $- 7$ .

$4 x^{2} - 28 x y + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply ${(2 x)}^{0}$ by $1$ .

$4 x^{2} - 28 x y + {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $2 x$ .

$4 x^{2} - 28 x y + 2^{0} x^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$4 x^{2} - 28 x y + 1 x^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$

Multiply $x^{0}$ by $1$ .

$4 x^{2} - 28 x y + x^{0} \cdot {(- 7 y)}^{2}$
