Which best explains why Irving sets "The Adventure of the Mysterious Stranger" in a land of "masks and gondolas"? The setting is symbolic of the idea that a life of quiet study is the ideal pursuit. The setting is symbolic of the idea that innocence cannot be outgrown. The setting is symbolic of the idea that ease and affluence are available to all. The setting is symbolic of the idea that appearances can be deceiving.

[tex]$(2 p+q)^3$[/tex]
-----

Response:
Simplify the expression:

[tex]\[ (2p + q)^3 \][/tex]



Answer :

Sure, let's expand the expression [tex]\((2p + q)^3\)[/tex] step-by-step.

To expand [tex]\((2p + q)^3\)[/tex], we can use the binomial theorem which states:

[tex]\[ (a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k \][/tex]

Here, [tex]\(a = 2p\)[/tex], [tex]\(b = q\)[/tex], and [tex]\(n = 3\)[/tex].

First, identify the binomial coefficients for [tex]\(n = 3\)[/tex]:
- [tex]\(\binom{3}{0} = 1\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\binom{3}{1} = 3\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\binom{3}{2} = 3\)[/tex]
- [tex]\(\binom{3}{3} = 1\)[/tex]

Now, apply the binomial theorem:

[tex]\[ (2p + q)^3 = \binom{3}{0} (2p)^3 q^0 + \binom{3}{1} (2p)^2 q^1 + \binom{3}{2} (2p)^1 q^2 + \binom{3}{3} (2p)^0 q^3 \][/tex]

Simplify each term:

1. For [tex]\(k = 0\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \binom{3}{0} (2p)^{3} q^0 = 1 \cdot (2p)^3 \cdot q^0 = 8p^3 \][/tex]

2. For [tex]\(k = 1\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \binom{3}{1} (2p)^2 q^1 = 3 \cdot (2p)^2 \cdot q = 3 \cdot 4p^2 \cdot q = 12p^2q \][/tex]

3. For [tex]\(k = 2\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \binom{3}{2} (2p)^1 q^2 = 3 \cdot (2p) \cdot q^2 = 3 \cdot 2p \cdot q^2 = 6pq^2 \][/tex]

4. For [tex]\(k = 3\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \binom{3}{3} (2p)^0 q^3 = 1 \cdot (2p)^0 \cdot q^3 = q^3 \][/tex]

Combining all these terms, we get the expanded form of [tex]\((2p + q)^3\)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ (2p + q)^3 = 8p^3 + 12p^2q + 6pq^2 + q^3 \][/tex]

So, the expanded expression is:

[tex]\[ 8p^3 + 12p^2q + 6pq^2 + q^3 \][/tex]
