Answer:
C. The coefficients of [tex]x^ay^b[/tex] and [tex]x^by^a[/tex] are equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
The binomial theorem is given as:
[tex](x+y)^n=\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k}x^{n-k}y^k[/tex]
[tex]n-k+k=n[/tex], and the coefficient of these terms are represented by [tex]\binom{n}{k}[/tex].
*Note [tex]\binom{n}{k}=\binom{n}{n-k}=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}[/tex]
Therefore the coefficients of [tex]x^ay^b[/tex] and [tex]x^by^a[/tex] are equal.
