Answer

$(2x-3)^4 = 16x^4 -96x^3+216x^2-216x+81$

Work Step by Step

$(2x-3)^4$ $(a+b)^n = a^n + n/1!* a^{n-1}*b^1 + n(n-1)/2!* a^{n-2}*b^2 + n(n-1)(n-2)/3!* a^{n-3}*b^3 + . . . + b^n$ $a=2x$ $b=-3$ $n=4$ $(2x+ (-3))^4 = (2x)^4 + 4/1!* (2x)^{4-1}*(-3)^1 + 4(4-1)/2!* (2x)^{4-2}*(-3)^2 + 4(4-1)(4-2)/3!* (2x)^{4-3}*(-3)^3 + 4(4-1)(4-2)(4-3)/4! *(2x)^{4-4}*(-3)^4$ $(2x+(-3))^4 = 16x^4 + 4* (2x)^3*-3+ 4(3)/2*(2x)^{ 2}*9+ 4(3)(2)/6*(2x)^1*-27 + 4(3)(2)(1)/4*3*2*1*(2x)^{0}*81$ $(2x+(-3))^4 = 16x^4 + 4*8x^3*-3+ 6*4x^2*9+4*2x*-27 +81$ $(2x+(-3))^4 = 16x^4 -96x^3+24x^2*9+4*-54x+81$ $(2x+(-3))^4 = 16x^4 -96x^3+216x^2-216x+81$
