6. Any individual term, let's say the ith term, in a binomial expansion can be
represented like this:
Example: Find the 4th term in the expansion of

7. Recall: This relation holds for each term in any binomial expansion:
[exponent on a] + [exponent on b] = n
And any individual term in a binomial expansion can be represented like this:
Example: Find the term that contains x in the expansion of
