Answer

$ T_1=x^8$ $ T_2=8x^7 y^2$ $ T_3=28x^6 y^4$

Work Step by Step

The formula to compute $ T_{k+1}$ of the expansion is: $ T_{k+1} =\dbinom{n}{k}p^{n-k}q^k $ Given: $(x+y^2)^8$ $ n=8; k=0$ $ T_1=\dbinom{8}{0}x^{8}(y^2)^0=x^8$ $ n=8; k=1$ $ T_2=\dbinom{8}{1}x^{7}(y^2)^1=8x^7 y^2$ $ n=8; k=2$ $ T_3=\dbinom{8}{2}x^{6}(y^2)^2=28x^6 y^4$
