Answer

See below.

Work Step by Step

According to the Binomial Theorem we can obtain the $r+1$th term of the expansion of the binomial $(x+y)^n$ by the formula $_nC_rx^{n-r}y^r$ If the exponent on $(a+b)$ is $n$, then the exponents of $b$ start at $0$ and increase by $1$ on each term until they reach $k$ on the last term of the expansion. .
