Here's the Solution to this Question

By Binomial Theorem


(a+b)^n=\dbinom{n}{0}a^nb^0+\dbinom{n}{1}a^{n-1}b^1+...+

+\dbinom{n}{k}a^kb^{n-k}+...+\dbinom{n}{n}a^0b^n

We have a=-x, b=2y, n=16.

We find the coefficient of x^3 y^{13}


k=3, \dbinom{n}{k}a^kb^{n-k}=\dbinom{16}{3}(-x)^3(2y)^{16-3}=

=-\dfrac{16!}{3!(16-3)!}(8192)x^3y^{13}=-560(8192)x^3y^{13}=

=-4587520x^3y^{13}

The coefficient of x^3y^{3} in the expansion of (-1x+2y)^{16} is -4587520.
