Answer

$1024z^{10}$

Work Step by Step

$(a+b)^n = a^n + n/1!* a^{n-1}*b^1 + n(n-1)/2!* a^{n-2}*b^2 + n(n-1)(n-2)/3!* a^{n-3}*b^3 + . . . + b^n$ The first term is $a^n$. The second term is $n/1!*a^{n-1}b^1$. For each successive term, the power for $a$ decreases by one. Also, the power for $b$ increases by one. The 11th term is as follows: $n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)(n-5)(n-6)(n-7)(n-8)(n-9)(n-10)/11!*a^{n-11}*b^n$ $n=10$ $n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4)(n-5)(n-6)(n-7)(n-8)(n-9)/10!*a^{n- 10}*b^n$ $10(10-1)(10-2)(10-3)(10-4)(10-5)(10-6)(10-7)(10-8)(10-9)/10!*a^{10-10}*b^10$ $10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1/11!*a^{10-10}*b^10$ $a^{10-10}*b^{10}$ $a^0b^{10}$ $b^{10}$ $b=2z$ $(2z)^{10}$ $2^{10}*z^{10}$ $1024z^{10}$
