Worksheet 1

8 problems
  1. Expand (x + 2y)^4 = ?
  2. Mason is a financial analyst studying the growth of an investment portfolio. The portfolio's value in thousands of dollars after t years is modeled by the expression (2 + 0.5t)^8. Using the binomial theorem, expand (2 + 0.5t)^8 completely. Write your answer as a polynomial in descending powers of t.
