We can use Pascal’s triangle to expand binomials, but it becomes large and cumbersome when the powers of the binomial are large. Therefore, the coefficients in a binomial expansion are often given in terms of factorials. Binomial Coefficients n r For nonnegative integers n and r, with n ³r, the expression is called a binomial coefficient and is defined by n r n! = r!
