Binomial Theorem

The binomial theorem describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial, showing how to expand expressions that involve addition or subtraction within a power.

Expression

A mathematical phrase that can contain numbers, variables, and operation symbols.

\(5a\)

An algebraic expression representing five times the variable "a".

  • Apply the Binomial Theorem to expand binomial expressions.
  • Understand the relationship between binomial expansions and their terms' coefficients.

Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The correct expansion using the Binomial Theorem involves calculating the coefficients using the binomial coefficients (which in this case are 1, 4, 6, 4, 1 for the powers of 4 down to 0) and raising both aaa and bbb , as well as their coefficients (5 and 4, respectively), to the appropriate powers. The correct coefficients for each term are obtained by multiplying the binomial coefficient by the respective powers of 5 and 4, leading to the expansion provided in option E.
