We can expand the expression using Newton's binomial theorem, which is a formula that allow us to find the expanded form of a binomial raised to a positive integer . The formula is as follows: . The number of terms resulting from the expansion always equals . The coefficients are combinatorial numbers which correspond to the nth row of the Tartaglia triangle (or Pascal's triangle). In the formula, we can observe that the exponent of decreases, from to , while the exponent of increases, from to . If one of the binomial terms is negative, the positive and negative signs alternate.
