(2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)

Explanation:

(2x+5)^7 simply means (2x+5) times itself 7 times.
So (2x+5)^3 would be (2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)
(2x+5)^5 would be (2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)(2x+5)

This works regardless of whats in the brackets.
(3x^3-5xm×38)^2 is (3x^3-5xm×38)(3x^3-5xm×38)

And without brackets 5^5 is 5×5×5×5×5
38×12^3 is 38(12×12×12)

And so forth.

Explanation:

"using the "color(blue)"binomial theorem"

• (x+y)^n=sum_(r=0)^n((n),(r))x^(n-r)y^r

"where " ((n),(r))=(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)

"here " x=2x" and " y=5

rArr(2x+5)^7

=((7),(0))(2x)^7 .5^0+((7),(1))(2x)^6 .5^1+((7),(2))(2x)^5 .5^2

color(white)(=)+((7),(3))(2x)^4 .5^3+((7),(4))(2x)^3 .5^4+((7),(5))(2x)^2 .5^5

color(white)(=)+((7),(6))(2x)^1 .5^6+((7),(7))(2x)^0 .5^7

"we can obtain the binomial coefficients using the "
"appropriate row of "color(blue)"Pascal's triangle"

"for n = 7 the row of coefficients is"
