Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (s+t)^7

${(s + t)}^{7}$

Step 1

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

$\sum_{k = 0}^{7} \frac{7!}{(7 - k)! k!} \cdot {(s)}^{7 - k} \cdot {(t)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{7!}{(7 - 0)! 0!} {(s)}^{7 - 0} \cdot {(t)}^{0} + \frac{7!}{(7 - 1)! 1!} {(s)}^{7 - 1} \cdot {(t)}^{1} + \dots + \frac{7!}{(7 - 7)! 7!} {(s)}^{7 - 7} \cdot {(t)}^{7}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(s)}^{7} \cdot {(t)}^{0} + 7 \cdot {(s)}^{6} \cdot {(t)}^{1} + \dots + 1 \cdot {(s)}^{0} \cdot {(t)}^{7}$

Step 4

Simplify the polynomial result.

$s^{7} + 7 s^{6} t + 21 s^{5} t^{2} + 35 s^{4} t^{3} + 35 s^{3} t^{4} + 21 s^{2} t^{5} + 7 s t^{6} + t^{7}$
