Math Problem Statement

(a+b+c)^3=

Solution

The expression (a+b+c)3(a + b + c)^3 can be expanded using the binomial theorem for three terms, also known as the trinomial expansion. The result is:

(a+b+c)3=a3+b3+c3+3a2b+3a2c+3b2a+3b2c+3c2a+3c2b+6abc(a + b + c)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + c^3 + 3a^2b + 3a^2c + 3b^2a + 3b^2c + 3c^2a + 3c^2b + 6abc

Final Expanded Form:

(a+b+c)3=a3+b3+c3+3(a2b+a2c+b2a+b2c+c2a+c2b)+6abc(a + b + c)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + c^3 + 3(a^2b + a^2c + b^2a + b^2c + c^2a + c^2b) + 6abc

Would you like me to explain the steps behind this expansion or simplify further?
