-
A.
binomial theorem
The binomial theorem is a fundamental algebraic formula that provides a systematic way to expand powers of binomial expressions, playing a key role in combinatorics and mathematical analysis.
-
B.
generalized binomial theorem
The generalized binomial theorem extends the classical binomial theorem by allowing real or complex exponents, expressing powers of a binomial as an infinite series using generalized binomial coefficients.
