how ( 7 3 )= 35
How you are getting the value for 7 and 3 as 35?
By the Binomial Theorem, ( x + 2 ) 7 = ∑ i = 0 7 ( i 7 ) x i 2 7 − i .
Therefore, to get what happens when the power of x is 3, the term would be ( 3 7 ) x 3 2 4 = 3 5 × x 3 × 1 6 = 5 6 0 x 3 .
Therefore, the coefficient of x 3 in the expansion of ( x + 2 ) 7 is 5 6 0 .
nice answer..
how comes 35?

The binomial coefficient ( 3 7 ) can be evaluated to get 35. You should know about combinations and binomial theorem to understand this !! For a binomial coefficient ( r n ) = r ! × ( n − r ) ! n ! . Also, you must know that n ! = n ( n − 1 ) ( n − 2 ) . . . . 3 . 2 . 1 So,
( 3 7 ) = 3 ! × ( 7 − 3 ) ! 7 ! = 3 ! × 4 ! 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 ! = 3 ! 7 × 6 × 5 = 6 2 1 0 = 3 5
The given expression is ( x + 2 ) 7 . Let T r + 1 be the ( r + 1 ) th term of the expansion. Since the expansion starts with the first term with x 7 and with each successive term, the power of x decreases, so the 5 th term is the required term with x 3 . We shall use the identity T r + 1 = n C r × x n − r a r for the expansion of ( x + a ) n . In this case, we have a = 2 and n = 7 .
So, T 5 = T 4 + 1 = 7 C 4 × x 7 − 4 2 4 = 4 ! × ( 7 − 4 ) ! 7 ! × x 3 × 1 6 = 4 ! × 6 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 ! × x 3 × 1 6 = 3 5 × 1 6 x 3 = 5 6 0 x 3
So, the coefficient of the term = 5 6 0
NICELY SOLVED
use binomial coefficients we get ( x + 2 ) 7 = k = 0 ∑ 7 ( 7 k ) x k 2 n − k so the coefficient of x^3 is ( 3 7 ) 2 4 = 5 6 0
good relation

we can use Binomial Newton to solve this. if y is coefficient of x 3 at ( x + 2 ) 7
y = 7 C 4 . x 3 . 2 4
y = 3 5 . x 3 . 1 6
y = 5 6 0 x 3
(7/3) a^3 b^4
35 x^3 2^4
560*x^3
binomial expansion... x^3 has coefficient 7C3 X 2^4. Which is equal to 560
Tr+1=nCr (x)^(n-r) y^r (x+2)^7 in this problem x=1,y=2,n=7. so i can fill the value in above equation. Tr+1=7C4 (1)^(7-r) 2^r here we need r value so 7-r=3, r=7-3, finally r=4. T4+1=7C4 (1)^(7-4) 2^4 T5=7C4 (1) 16 here 7C4=35 ,,( nCr=n!/r!(n-r)!) T5=35 1 16 T5=560
Coefficient of x^3 = 7C4 * x^3*2^4, and 7 Combination 4 = 35 and 2 ^4 =16 Therefore, 35 x 16 = 560
7 C 4 = 7!/3!4! = 35
am i the only one who use pascal triangle to solve this?
Probably yes, and you're a genius.
applying Tr+1=nCr ((x)^n-r) y^r x=x,y=2,n=7,r=4 T4+1=7C4 ((x)^7-4) 2^4 T5=35 x^3 16 coefficient x^3=560
7C4 x 2^4 = 35 X 16 = 560
One of the way of solving this is using BINOMIAL EXPANSION. (x+y)^n= nC0 x^n y^0 + nC1 x^(n-1) y^1 + nC2 x^(n-2) y^2 + ... + nCn x^0 y^n. Evidently, the coefficient of x^3 should be (nC4 y^4). Here, n=7 & y=2. Thus, coeff. of x^3 = 7C4 2^4 = 560.
7c4 x^(7-4) 2^4 .... SO the coefficient of x^3 is 7c4*2^4 :)
using binomial theory,,(x+y)^n then put n=7 and y=2
7C3 x 2^(7-3) x X^3 = 560X^3
Coefficient of x^3 in (x+2)^7 is 7C3 x 2^(7-4)=560
By the binomial theorem, the term with x^{3} should be
C(7,3) x^{3} \times 2^{7-4}.
Hence the coefficient of x^{3} is C(7,3)*2^{4}
C^{7}r= x^7-r * 2^r (formula) Now for the power of x to be 3, x^7-r should be =3. Therefore r=4 (7-r=3) now the coefficient would be c^7 4 * 2^4, i,e 7!/3! 4! (nCr= n!/r! *(n-r)!) Therefore coefficient is 35 16=560
To finding rth power coefficient we know=nCr-1 x^{n-r+1} a^{r-1}
so coefficient= 7C4 * x^{7-4} * 2^{4}
=560
ans =560
7c4 . (x)^3 (2)^4 = 35 . 16 . x^3 = 560 x^3
can u explain more about pascal's triangle
according to pascal i got 35
the term in Binomial expression (x + y)^n is nCr x^(n – r ) y^r
in (x + 2)^7 to get x^3 term (n – r) = 3 here n = 7 and r = 4
so term is 7C4 x^3 y^4
= 7!/4!×3! x^3 (2)^4 = 35 × 16 = 560
in the expansion if (x+y)^n ------> Tr+1 = nCr * y^r * x^n-r. so in (x+2)^7 ------> Tr+1 = 7Cr * 2^r * x^7-r ------> we want x^3 , so 7-r = 3 ------>. r = 4. ------> T5 = 7C4 * 2*4 * x^3 ------> then the coefficient of x^3 = 7C4 * 2^4 = 560
by using binomial expansion formula we can find that ans.

By binomial theorem it is 2 4 ⋅ ( 3 7 ) = 5 6 0 .
