Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Binomial Theorem
The Binomial Theorem provides a formula for expanding expressions of the form (a + b)^n, where n is a non-negative integer. It states that (a + b)^n can be expressed as the sum of terms involving binomial coefficients, which represent the number of ways to choose elements from a set. This theorem is essential for expanding polynomials efficiently without multiplying the binomial repeatedly.

Polynomial Expansion
Polynomial expansion involves rewriting a polynomial expression in a simplified form, typically as a sum of terms. In the case of (y + 2)^3, expansion will yield a cubic polynomial. Understanding how to expand polynomials is crucial for simplifying expressions and solving equations in algebra.

Introduction to Polynomials
Binomial Coefficients
Binomial coefficients are the numerical factors that appear in the expansion of a binomial expression. They are denoted as C(n, k) or 'n choose k', representing the number of ways to choose k elements from a set of n elements. These coefficients are calculated using factorials and play a key role in determining the coefficients of each term in the expanded form of a binomial expression.
