Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (3y-8)^2

${(3 y - 8)}^{2}$

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

Expand the summation.

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

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

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

Step 4

Simplify each term.

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

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

Apply the product rule to $3 y$ .

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

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

$9 y^{2} \cdot {(- 8)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(3 y)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$9 y^{2} \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot {(3 y)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply $9$ by $1$ .

$9 y^{2} + 2 \cdot {(3 y)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Simplify.

$9 y^{2} + 2 \cdot (3 y) \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply $3$ by $2$ .

$9 y^{2} + 6 y \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$9 y^{2} + 6 y \cdot - 8 + 1 \cdot {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply $- 8$ by $6$ .

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + 1 \cdot {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply ${(3 y)}^{0}$ by $1$ .

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + {(3 y)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $3 y$ .

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + 3^{0} y^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + 1 y^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

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

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + y^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + 1 \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply ${(- 8)}^{2}$ by $1$ .

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + {(- 8)}^{2}$

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

$9 y^{2} - 48 y + 64$
