expand (3x-1)^4

Solution

expand

(3 x - 1)^{4}

Solution

81 x^{4} - 108 x^{3} + 54 x^{2} - 12 x + 1

Solution steps

(3 x - 1)^{4}

Apply binomial theorem:

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

a = 3 x, b = - 1

= i = 0 \sum 4 (i 4) (3 x)^{(4 - i)} (- 1)^{i}

Expand summation

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

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{0 ! ( 4 - 0 ) !} (3 x)^{4} (- 1)^{0} : 81 x^{4}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{1 ! ( 4 - 1 ) !} (3 x)^{3} (- 1)^{1} : - 108 x^{3}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{2 ! ( 4 - 2 ) !} (3 x)^{2} (- 1)^{2} : 54 x^{2}

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{3 ! ( 4 - 3 ) !} (3 x)^{1} (- 1)^{3} : - 12 x

Simplify

\frac{4 !}{4 ! ( 4 - 4 ) !} (3 x)^{0} (- 1)^{4} : 1

= 81 x^{4} - 108 x^{3} + 54 x^{2} - 12 x + 1
