Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (4x^3-3/(x^2))^5

${(4 x^{3} - \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{5}$

Step 1

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

$\sum_{k = 0}^{5} \frac{5!}{(5 - k)! k!} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{5 - k} \cdot {(- \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{5!}{(5 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{5 - 0} \cdot {(- \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{0} + \frac{5!}{(5 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{5 - 1} \cdot {(- \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{1} + \dots + \frac{5!}{(5 - 5)! 5!} \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{5 - 5} \cdot {(- \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{5}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{5} \cdot {(- \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{0} + 5 \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{4} \cdot {(- \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{1} + \dots + 1 \cdot {(4 x^{3})}^{0} \cdot {(- \frac{3}{x^{2}})}^{5}$

Step 4

Simplify the polynomial result.

$1024 x^{15} - 3840 x^{10} + 5760 x^{5} - 4320 + \frac{1620}{x^{5}} - \frac{243}{x^{10}}$
