- the theorem giving the expansion of a binomial raised to any power.
- a mathematical theorem that gives the expansion of any binomial raised to a positive integral power, n . It contains n + 1 terms: (x + a) n = x n + nx n – 1 a + [ n (n –1)/2] x n – ² a ² +…+ (n k) x n – k a k + … + a n, where (n k) = n !/(n–k)! k !, the number of combinations of k items selected from n
