Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (x+9)^3

${(x + 9)}^{3}$

Step 1

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

$\sum_{k = 0}^{3} \frac{3!}{(3 - k)! k!} \cdot {(x)}^{3 - k} \cdot {(9)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{3!}{(3 - 0)! 0!} {(x)}^{3 - 0} \cdot {(9)}^{0} + \frac{3!}{(3 - 1)! 1!} {(x)}^{3 - 1} \cdot {(9)}^{1} + \frac{3!}{(3 - 2)! 2!} {(x)}^{3 - 2} \cdot {(9)}^{2} + \frac{3!}{(3 - 3)! 3!} {(x)}^{3 - 3} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(x)}^{3} \cdot {(9)}^{0} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{2} \cdot {(9)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{1} \cdot {(9)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Step 4

Simplify each term.

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

${(x)}^{3} \cdot {(9)}^{0} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{2} \cdot {(9)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{1} \cdot {(9)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$x^{3} \cdot 1 + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{2} \cdot {(9)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{1} \cdot {(9)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Multiply $x^{3}$ by $1$ .

$x^{3} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{2} \cdot {(9)}^{1} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{1} \cdot {(9)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$x^{3} + 3 x^{2} \cdot 9 + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{1} \cdot {(9)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Multiply $9$ by $3$ .

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 3 \cdot {(x)}^{1} \cdot {(9)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Simplify.

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 3 \cdot x \cdot {(9)}^{2} + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Raise $9$ to the power of $2$ .

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 3 x \cdot 81 + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Multiply $81$ by $3$ .

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 243 x + 1 \cdot {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

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

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 243 x + {(x)}^{0} \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 243 x + 1 \cdot {(9)}^{3}$

Multiply ${(9)}^{3}$ by $1$ .

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 243 x + {(9)}^{3}$

Raise $9$ to the power of $3$ .

$x^{3} + 27 x^{2} + 243 x + 729$
