13.6 Exercise 57

Avg difficulty 2.5

In the expansion of (5x+3y) n , \left(5 x + 3 y\right)^{n} , each term has the form ( n k ) a n–k b k \begin{pmatrix} n \\ k \end{pmatrix} a^{n – k} b^{k}, where k k successively takes on the value 0,1,2,...,n. 0 , 1 , 2 , ... , n . If ( n k )=( 7 2 ), \begin{pmatrix} n \\ k \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 7 \\ 2 \end{pmatrix} , what is the corresponding term?
