Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following expressions represents the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (2x - 3)^4?
  • Step 1: Identify the expression you need to work with, which is (2x - 3)^4.
  • Step 2: To find the sum of the coefficients, substitute x = 1 into the expression.
  • Step 3: Replace x with 1 in the expression: (2(1) - 3)^4.
  • Step 4: Calculate the expression: (2 - 3)^4.
  • Step 5: Simplify the expression: (-1)^4.
  • Step 6: Calculate (-1)^4, which equals 1.
  • Step 7: Note that the sum of the coefficients is actually -81, which is a separate calculation.
