Find the value of 53^3 using the identity (x+y)^3=x^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+y^2
Hint 53^3 =(50+3)^3; therefore, x=50, and y=3
I do not get this
(53)^3 = (50 + 3)^3
Using the binomial expansion of (x + y) ^3, we can write
(x + y)^3 = 1x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + 1y^3 where the coefficients come from the 3rd row of Pascal's triangle [ the first row = 1 = row "0" ] ......so....substituting for x and y, we have
(50 + 3)^3 = 1*50^3 + 3(50)^2(3) + 3(50)(3)^2 + 1*3^3 =
125,000 + 22500 + 1350 + 27 =
148,877
