expand (y-1)^4

Solution

expand

(y - 1)^{4}

Solution

y^{4} - 4 y^{3} + 6 y^{2} - 4 y + 1

Solution steps

(y - 1)^{4}

Apply binomial theorem:

(a + b)^{n} = i = 0 \sum n (i n) a^{(n - i)} b^{i}

a = y, b = - 1

= i = 0 \sum 4 (i 4) y^{(4 - i)} (- 1)^{i}

Expand summation

= \frac{4 !}{0 ! ( 4 - 0 ) !} y^{4} (- 1)^{0} + \frac{4 !}{1 ! ( 4 - 1 ) !} y^{3} (- 1)^{1} + \frac{4 !}{2 ! ( 4 - 2 ) !} y^{2} (- 1)^{2} + \frac{4 !}{3 ! ( 4 - 3 ) !} y^{1} (- 1)^{3} + \frac{4 !}{4 ! ( 4 - 4 ) !} y^{0} (- 1)^{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{0 ! ( 4 - 0 ) !} y^{4} (- 1)^{0} : y^{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{1 ! ( 4 - 1 ) !} y^{3} (- 1)^{1} : - 4 y^{3}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{2 ! ( 4 - 2 ) !} y^{2} (- 1)^{2} : 6 y^{2}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{3 ! ( 4 - 3 ) !} y^{1} (- 1)^{3} : - 4 y

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{4 ! ( 4 - 4 ) !} y^{0} (- 1)^{4} : 1

= y^{4} - 4 y^{3} + 6 y^{2} - 4 y + 1
