^But you DO NOT need the binomial theorem to solve the problem! It is a shortcut that saves about 10 to 20 seconds, if that. And it is by no means difficult to solve the problem without the binomial theorem. If there were a problem that asked you to find the slope of a linear function with an attached graph, you could use the slope equation or you could use calculus. But, just because you can use calculus to solve a problem does not mean that it can’t be on the SAT, it is just that problems which REQUIRE calculus would not show up.
