    A. a3 + 3a2x - 3ax2 + x3 B. a3 + 3a2x + 3ax2 + x3
    C. a3 - 3a2x - 3ax2 - x3 D. a3 - 3a2x + 3ax2 - x3
    Hint

  2.   Simplify .
    A. n + 1 B. n
    C. n + 1 D.
    Hint

  3.   Evaluate
    A. 252 B. 126
    C. 504 D. 1
    Hint

  4.   Expand (4x + 2y)4.
    A. B.
    C. D.
    Hint

  5.   Which of the following is not a pattern in the binomial expansion of (a + b)n?
    A. There are n + 1 terms. B. In successive terms, the exponent of a increases by one, and the exponent of b decreases by one.
    C. The sum of the exponents in each term is n D. The coefficients are symmetric. They increase at the beginning of the expansion and decrease at the end.
