1.for a postitive integer n,when[1-(5x/2)]^n is expanded in ascending powers of x the coefficient of x is -20.
a)find as integers,
(i)the coefficient of x^2
(ii)the coefficient of x^3
2.a)use the binomial theorem to obtain the first three terms in the expansion of (1+y)^8 in ascending powers of y.
b)hence find the coefficient of x^2 in the expansopn of (1+x-x^2)^8 in ascending powers of x.
