In reply to that expanding one, the actual answer to the question is also quite funny; (a+b)^n expands to:

a^n + nab + b^n

Made me laugh more when I saw that then when I saw the picture :eek:

EDIT: Yeah, need to L2Maths better, that only works on the first expansion, not to the nth expansion. Uni has made me thick.

Total expansion is:
a^n + (n-1)ba^(n-1) + ab^(n-1) + a^(n-1)b + (n-1)ab^(n-1) + b^n

(Yay, I can still maths)

I think this correction is incorrect either and only works for the first two n's. One needs to utilize the Pascal's triangle and therefore the polynoma can't consist of limited number of parts for a universal "n"...

Balls, you're right. This is why I tried to avoid maths post A-level :p

Well what was originally funny has just had all the funny kicked out of it!

*grumble* stupid binomial theorem

What a coincidence that I'm studying this level of maths at the moment, and specificaly we have just gone over Pascal's triangle.

Still don't have a f***ing clue though!
