| Topic | Binomial Theorem (positive integer n) |
| Type | Standard binomial expansion coefficient |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward application of the binomial theorem requiring students to identify the correct term (r=4) and calculate using the formula. It's a routine textbook exercise with a single clear method and minimal steps, making it easier than average but not trivial since it requires careful handling of signs and coefficients. |
