Let's expand: (2x + 1)3 With Newton's binomial formula: (a+b)n=∑k=0n(n!k!(n−k)!)an−kbk, let's expand the expression: 3!3!·0!·(2x)3·10 + 3!2!·1!·(2x)2·11 + 3!1!·2!·(2x)1·12 + 3!0!·3!·(2x)0·13 3!3!·0!·(2x)3 + 3!2!·1!·(2x)2 + 3!1!·2!·2x + 3!0!·3! 66·(2x)3 + 62·(2x)2 + 62·2x + 66 ℹ66 = 1‖1·(2x)3 = (2x)3‖62 = 3‖62·2 = 6‖66 = 1 (2x)3 + 3·(2x)2 + 6x + 1 ℹ(2x)3 = 23·x3‖(2x)2 = 22·x2 23·x3 + 3·22·x2 + 6x + 1 ℹ23 = 8‖22 = 4 8x3 + 3·4x2 + 6x + 1 ▷Result: 8x3 + 12x2 + 6x + 1
