Respuesta :

the second term of (m+n)^5 will be 5m^4n

Answer:

[tex]5m^4 n[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

By the binomial expansion,

[tex](a+b)^n =\sum_{r=0}^{n} ^nC_r a^{n-r} b^r[/tex]

Using this,

[tex](m+n)^5 =\sum_{r=0}^{5} ^5C_r m^{5-r} n^r[/tex]

For finding 2nd term,

Put r = 1,  ( because terms start from 0 to 5 )

Second term = [tex]^5C_1 m^{5-1} n^1[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{5!}{1!4!} m^4 n^1[/tex]

[tex]=5m^4 n[/tex]
