Question
Expand the given expression (1 - 2x)5

Answer

Using binomial theorem for the expansion of (1 - 2x)5 we have
${(1 - 2x)^5}{ = ^5}{C_0}{ + ^5}{C_1}( - 2x)+$$^5{C_2}{( - 2x)^2}{ + ^5}{C_3}{( - 2x)^3}{ + ^5}{C_4}{( - 2x)^4}$${ + ^5}{C_5}{( - 2x)^5}$
= 1 + 5 (-2x) + 10(-2x)2 + 10(-2x)3 + 5(-2x)4 + (-2x)5
= 1 - 10x + 40x2 - 80x3 + 80x4 - 32x5
