Answer

$x^8+8x^7y+28x^6y^2+56x^5y^3+70x^4y^4+ 56x^3y^5+28x^2y^6+8xy^7+y^8 $

Work Step by Step

Using the Binomial Formula, the expression $ (x+y)^8 $ expands to \begin{array}{l} x^8b^0+ \dfrac{8}{1!}a^7b^1+ \dfrac{8\cdot7}{2!}a^6b^2+ \dfrac{8\cdot7\cdot6}{3!}a^5b^3+ \dfrac{8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5}{4!}a^4b^4+\\ \dfrac{8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot4}{5!}a^3b^5+ \dfrac{8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3}{6!}a^2b^6+ \dfrac{8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2}{7!}a^1b^7+\\ \dfrac{8\cdot7\cdot6\cdot5\cdot4\cdot3\cdot2\cdot1}{8!}a^0b^8 \\\\= x^8+8x^7y+28x^6y^2+56x^5y^3+70x^4y^4+\\56x^3y^5+28x^2y^6+8xy^7+y^8 \end{array}
