Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (2x+8)^3

${(2 x + 8)}^{3}$

Step 1

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

$\sum_{k = 0}^{3} \frac{3!}{(3 - k)! k!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{3 - k} \cdot {(8)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{3!}{(3 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{3 - 0} \cdot {(8)}^{0} + \frac{3!}{(3 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{3 - 1} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + \frac{3!}{(3 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{3 - 2} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + \frac{3!}{(3 - 3)! 3!} \cdot {(2 x)}^{3 - 3} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{3} \cdot {(8)}^{0} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Step 4

Simplify each term.

Multiply ${(2 x)}^{3}$ by $1$ .

${(2 x)}^{3} \cdot {(8)}^{0} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Apply the product rule to $2 x$ .

$2^{3} x^{3} \cdot {(8)}^{0} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Raise $2$ to the power of $3$ .

$8 x^{3} \cdot {(8)}^{0} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Multiply $8$ by ${(8)}^{0}$ by adding the exponents.

Move ${(8)}^{0}$ .

${(8)}^{0} \cdot 8 x^{3} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Multiply ${(8)}^{0}$ by $8$ .

Raise $8$ to the power of $1$ .

${(8)}^{0} \cdot 8^{1} x^{3} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$8^{0 + 1} x^{3} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Add $0$ and $1$ .

$8^{1} x^{3} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Simplify $8^{1} x^{3}$ .

$8 x^{3} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Apply the product rule to $2 x$ .

$8 x^{3} + 3 \cdot (2^{2} x^{2}) \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

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

$8 x^{3} + 3 \cdot (4 x^{2}) \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Multiply $4$ by $3$ .

$8 x^{3} + 12 x^{2} \cdot {(8)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$8 x^{3} + 12 x^{2} \cdot 8 + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Multiply $8$ by $12$ .

$8 x^{3} + 96 x^{2} + 3 \cdot {(2 x)}^{1} \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Simplify.

$8 x^{3} + 96 x^{2} + 3 \cdot (2 x) \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Multiply $2$ by $3$ .

$8 x^{3} + 96 x^{2} + 6 x \cdot {(8)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Raise $8$ to the power of $2$ .

$8 x^{3} + 96 x^{2} + 6 x \cdot 64 + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Multiply $64$ by $6$ .

$8 x^{3} + 96 x^{2} + 384 x + 1 \cdot {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

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

$8 x^{3} + 96 x^{2} + 384 x + {(2 x)}^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Apply the product rule to $2 x$ .

$8 x^{3} + 96 x^{2} + 384 x + 2^{0} x^{0} \cdot {(8)}^{3}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .
