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

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

Step 1

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

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

Step 2

Expand the summation.

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

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

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

Step 4

Simplify each term.
