Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Find the coefficient of x^0 in the expansion of (2x - 3)^3.
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that x^0 means we are looking for the constant term in the expansion.
Step 2: Use the binomial theorem to expand (2x - 3)^3.
Step 3: The binomial theorem states that (a + b)^n = sum of (n choose k) * a^(n-k) * b^k for k from 0 to n.
Step 4: In our case, a = 2x, b = -3, and n = 3.
Step 5: We need to find the term where x has an exponent of 0, which happens when we take b^3.
Step 6: The term we need is (-3)^3, since we take all of b and none of a.
Step 7: Calculate (-3)^3 = -27.
Step 8: Therefore, the coefficient of x^0 in the expansion is -27.
Binomial Expansion
– Understanding how to expand expressions of the form (a + b)^n using the binomial theorem.
Finding Coefficients
– Identifying specific coefficients in the expansion, particularly the constant term (x^0).
