tk +1 = n Ck x n k y k
With this term formula, it is possible to find any term in the expansion of a
binomial. Using the formula isnt hard, all that is involved is substituting your
numbers and simplifying.
There are a few simple rules to follow:
n is the power of the binomial. In this case its 5.
x represents the first term of the binomial (including sign) 2a
y represents the second term of the binomial (including sign) -3b
k represents one less than the term you want. If you want the first term, k = 0.
For the second term, k = 1. For the third term, k = 2.

Example 2: Given (5x 2y)9 Find the coefficient of the term containing x5
In order to find the k-value, first plug everything you know into the formula.
(Use an empty box for k, since thats what were trying to figure out.
9(-2y)
9 C (5x)
By inspection, we can see that to get a term with x5, we need to put a 4 in the
space.
