Answer

The final expanded expression using the Binomial Theorem is: (2x+1)5=32x5+80x4+80x3+40x2+10x+1

Steps

Step 1 :Define a function to calculate the binomial coefficient. This function will take two arguments, n and k, and return the binomial coefficient of n choose k.

Step 2 :Use this function to calculate the coefficients for each term in the expansion of the expression (2x+1)5.

Step 3 :Substitute a=2, b=1, and n=5 into the formula for each term to get the expanded expression.

Step 4 :Calculate the binomial coefficient for each term in the expansion, multiply it by a(nk) and bk to get the coefficient for that term, and then add it to the expansion.

Step 5 :The final expanded expression using the Binomial Theorem is: (2x+1)5=32x5+80x4+80x3+40x2+10x+1
