More information
The expression \((3x-1)^2\) can be expanded to give \(9x^2-6x+1\). The sum of the coefficients in this expansion is \(9-6+1=4\).
What is the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of \((3x-1)^7\)?
Show answer
Hide answer
The sum of the coefficients can be worked out by substituting \(x=1\) into the polynomial, so the sum of the coefficients is \((3-1)^7\), or
