help with newton binum

hello everyone,

I have a few questions about newton's binum.
I was requested to calculates the following:

I have no clue how to calculte either of them
our teacher doesn't explained it
I will be very glad if someone could help me with them
and show me the way of solution

thank you

For the second one note that by the nature of Pascal's triangle $\dbinom{n+1}{k} = \dbinom{n}{k-1}+\dbinom{n}{k}$ Write out some of the sum until you see the pattern and simplify it to obtain the term on the right hand side.

not comparing b to 1. Letting b=1.

Then you get

$a^n = \sum \limits_{k=1}^n \dbinom{n}{k}a^k$

like for example

$5^n = \sum \limits_{k=0}^n 5^k \dbinom{n}{k}$

Does that term on the right look familiar?
