Thus, (a + b)6 = a6 + 6a5b + 15a4b2 + 20a3b3 + 15a2b4 + 6ab5 + b6
Putting a = 1 & b = 2x, we get-
(1+2x)6 = (1)6 + 6(1)5(2x) + 15(1)4(2x)2 + 20(1)3(2x)3
+ 15(1)2(2x)4 + 6(1)(2x)5 + (2x)6

Thus, (a + b)7 = a7 + 7a6b + 21a5b2 + 35a4b3 + 35a3b4 + 21a2b5 + 7ab6 +b7
Putting a = 1 & b = -x, we get-

Thus, (a + b)6 = a6 + 6a5b + 15a4b2 + 20a3b3 + 15a2b4 + 6ab5 + b6
Replacing b with -b
(a +(-b))6 = a6 + 6a5(-b) + 15a4(-b)2 + 20a3(-b)3 + 15a2(-b)4 + 6a(-b)5 + (-b)6
(a - b)6 = a6 - 6a5b + 15a4b2 - 20a3b3 + 15a2b4 - 6ab5 + b6
Now,
(a + b)6 - (a - b)6
= (a6 + 6a5b + 15a4b2 + 20a3b3 + 15a2b4 + 6ab5 + b6)
- (a6 - 6a5b + 15a4b2 - 20a3b3 + 15a2b4 - 6ab5 + b6)
= 2(6a5b + 20a3b3 + 6ab5)
Putting a = √3 & b = √2, we get-
(√3 + √2)6 - (√3 - √2)6
= 2[6(√3)5(√2) + 20(√3)3(√2)3 + 6(√3)(√2)5]
= 2[6(9√3)(√2) + 20(3√3)(2√2) + 6(√3)(4√2)]

Replacing b with -b
(a + (-b))4 = a4 + 4a3(-b) + 6a2(-b)2 + 4a(-b)3 + (-b)4
(a-b)4 = a4 - 4a3b + 6a2b2 - 4ab3 + b4
Now,
(a + b)4 + (a - b)4
= (a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4) + (a4 - 4a3b + 6a2b2 - 4ab3 + b4)
= 2(a4 + 6a2b2 + b4)
Putting a = a2 & b = √(a2-1)
(a2 + √(a2-1))4 + (a2 - √(a2-1))4
= 2[(a2)4 + 6(a2)2(√(a2-1))2 + (√(a2-1))4]
= 2[ a8 + 6(a4)(a2-1) + (a2-1)2]

Thus, (a + b)5 = a5 + 5a4b + 10a3b2 + 10a2b3 + 5ab4 + b5
Putting a = 1 & b = -0.01, we get-
(1 + (-0.01))5 = (1)5 + 5(1)4(-0.01) + 10(1)3(-0.01)2 + 10(1)2(-0.01)3 + 5(1)(-0.01)4 + (-0.01)5
Using first three terms,
(0.99)5 = (1)5 + 5(1)4(-0.01) + 10(1)3(-0.01)2
= 1 - 0.05 + 0.001
= 1.001 - 0.050

= 27x6 - 27ax4(2x-3a) + 9a2x2(2x-3a)2 - a3(2x-3a)3
= 27x6 - 54ax5 + 81a2x4 + 9a2x2(4x2-12ax+9a2)
- a3[(2x)3 - (3a)3 - 3(2x)2(3a) + 3(2x)(3a)2]
= 27x6 - 54ax5 + 81a2x4 + 36a2x4 - 108a3x3 + 81a4x2
-8a3x3 + 27a6 + 36a4x2 - 54a5x
= 27x6 - 54ax5+ 117a2x4 - 116a3x3 + 117a4x2 - 54a5x + 27a6
Thus, (3x2 – 2ax + 3a2)3
= 27x6 - 54ax5+ 117a2x4 - 116a3x3 + 117a4x2 - 54a5x + 27a6
