Elaborate Steps to Expand $(1-x)^4$ Using Binomial Theorem
Given expression is $(1 - x)^4$
The binomial Theorem says that to expand any non-negative power of binomial (x+y), then use the below formula,
=> (x+y)n = nC0xny0 +nC1xn-1y1 + nC2xn-2y2 + ... + nCn-1x1yn-1 +nCnx0yn
$(1 - x)^4$ = $\\sum_{k=0}^4 {^4C_k}((1)^{4-k}(-x)^{k})$
By expansion,
$(1 - x)^4$=
$\frac{4!}{(4-0)!0!}(1)^{4-0}\times{}(-x)^0+\frac{4!}{(4-1)!1!}(1)^{4-1}\times{}(-x)^1+\frac{4!}{(4-2)!2!}(1)^{4-2}\times{}(-x)^2+\frac{4!}{(4-3)!3!}(1)^{4-3}\times{}(-x)^3+\frac{4!}{(4-4)!4!}(1)^{4-4}\times{}(-x)^4$
$= \frac{24}{(24)1}(1)^{4-0}\times{}(-x)^0+\frac{24}{(6)1}(1)^{4-1}\times{}(-x)^1+\frac{24}{(2)2}(1)^{4-2}\times{}(-x)^2+\frac{24}{(1)6}(1)^{4-3}\times{}(-x)^3+\frac{24}{(1)24}(1)^{4-4}\times{}(-x)^4$
$= 1(1)^{4-0}\times{}(-x)^0+4(1)^{4-1}\times{}(-x)^1+6(1)^{4-2}\times{}(-x)^2+4(1)^{4-3}\times{}(-x)^3+1(1)^{4-4}\times{}(-x)^4$
$= (1)^{4-0}\times{}(-x)^0+(4)(1)^{4-1}\times{}(-x)^1+(6)(1)^{4-2}\times{}(-x)^2+(4)(1)^{4-3}\times{}(-x)^3+(1)^{4-4}\times{}(-x)^4$
$= (1)^{4}\times{}(-x)^0+(4)(1)^{3}\times{}(-x)^1+(6)(1)^{2}\times{}(-x)^2+(4)(1)^{1}\times{}(-x)^3+(1)^{0}\times{}(-x)^4$
$= (1)^{4}\times{}1+(4)(1)^{3}\times{}(-x)^1+(6)(1)^{2}\times{}(-x)^2+(4)(1)^{1}\times{}(-x)^3+1\times{}(-x)^4$
$= 1\times{}(1)+(4)1\times{}(-x)+(6)1\times{}(x^2)+(4)1\times{}(-x^3)+1\times{}(x^4)$
$= x^4 - 4x^3 + 6x^2 - 4x + 1$
Therefore, the binomial expansion of $(1 - x)^4$ is $x^4 - 4x^3 + 6x^2 - 4x + 1$
