Pascal’s triangle organizes binomial coefficients, where row n has C(n,k) for k=0..n. For example, row 4 is 1,4,6,4,1. In expansions like (x+y)⁴, the coefficients match those in row 4: x⁴+4x³y+6x²y²+4xy³+y⁴. Pascal’s triangle also applies to combinatorics, distributions, or probability logic (sums of binomial coefficients). Familiarity with it fosters mental expansions or quick coefficient retrieval in (a+b)^n expansions, streamlining binomial theorem tasks and combinatorial counting insights in advanced mathematics.
