Binomial Theorem
The binomial theorem is a formula describing how to expand powers of a binomial (x+a)n using binomial coefficients.
Binomial theorem is a college-level concept that would be first encountered in a discrete mathematics course covering combinatorics. It is listed in the California State Standards for Algebra II.
