+ \begin{enumerate}
+ \item powers of \(x\) decrease \(n \rightarrow 0\)
+ \item powers of \(y\) increase \(0 \rightarrow n\)
+ \item coefficients are given by \(n\)th row of Pascal's Triangle where \(n=0\) has one term
+ \item Number of terms in \((x+a)^n\) expanded \& simplified is \(n+1\)
+ \end{enumerate}
+
+ Combinations: \(^n\text{C}_r = {N\choose k}\) (binomial coefficient)
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Arrangements \({n \choose k} = \frac{n!}{(n-r)}\)
+ \item Combinations \({n \choose k} = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}\)
+ \item Note \({n \choose k} = {n \choose k-1}\)
