A Special Trinomial Expansion
Ayoub, Ayoub B.
Mathematics and Computer Education, v40 n2 p138-142 Spr 2006
In this article, the author takes up the special trinomial (1 + x + x[squared])[superscript n] and shows that the coefficients of its expansion are entries of a Pascal-like triangle. He also shows how to calculate these entries recursively and explicitly. This article could be used in the classroom for enrichment. (Contains 1 table.)
