Binomial Expansion Tutorial Guide

[1] Samim's tutorial provides sample math problems and solutions related to binomial expansions. The document contains 5 problems testing skills in expanding binomial expressions and finding coefficients of terms. [2] The problems involve expanding expressions like (x + 3x^2)^5, (1 + x)^6, and (1 - 2x)^2(1 + ax)^6 and extracting coefficients of terms like x^8 and x^3. [3] Solving the problems requires applying the binomial theorem as well as solving simple equations to determine values of constants in expressions.
