Summary

Enter a, b, and exponent n to expand (a + b)^n and see every term with its binomial coefficient.

How it works

  1. Enter values for a and b (can be integers, decimals, or negative numbers).
  2. Enter the exponent n (integer from 0 to 10).
  3. The tool applies the binomial theorem: (a+b)^n = Σ C(n,k) · a^(n-k) · b^k.
  4. Each term is listed with its binomial coefficient, powers, and simplified value.
  5. The full expanded expression is shown at the top for easy copying.
