$x^{18} + 18 x y^{17} + y^{17}$

Not Possible

$x^{18} + 18 x^{17} y + 153 x^{16} y^{2}$

Explanation

In order to do this, we need to recall the formula for Pascal's Triangle.

$\sum_{i=0}^{n} x^{- i + n} y^{i} {\binom{n}{i}}$

Since the exponent in the question is 18 we can replace $\uptext{n}$ , with 18 .

Now our equation looks like

$\sum_{i=0}^{18} x^{- i + 18} y^{i} {\binom{18}{i}}$

Now we compute the sum, term by term.

Term 1 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 0 } x ^{\left( 18 - 0 \right)} y ^{ 0 }= x^{18}$

Term 2 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 1 } x ^{\left( 18 - 1 \right)} y ^{ 1 }= 18 x^{17} y$

Term 3 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 2 } x ^{\left( 18 - 2 \right)} y ^{ 2 }= 153 x^{16} y^{2}$

Term 7 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 6 } x ^{\left( 18 - 6 \right)} y ^{ 6 }= 18564 x^{12} y^{6}$

Term 8 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 7 } x ^{\left( 18 - 7 \right)} y ^{ 7 }= 31824 x^{11} y^{7}$

Term 9 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 8 } x ^{\left( 18 - 8 \right)} y ^{ 8 }= 43758 x^{10} y^{8}$

Term 10 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 9 } x ^{\left( 18 - 9 \right)} y ^{ 9 }= 48620 x^{9} y^{9}$

Term 11 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 10 } x ^{\left( 18 - 10 \right)} y ^{ 10 }= 43758 x^{8} y^{10}$

Term 12 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 11 } x ^{\left( 18 - 11 \right)} y ^{ 11 }= 31824 x^{7} y^{11}$

Term 13 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 12 } x ^{\left( 18 - 12 \right)} y ^{ 12 }= 18564 x^{6} y^{12}$

Term 14 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 13 } x ^{\left( 18 - 13 \right)} y ^{ 13 }= 8568 x^{5} y^{13}$

Term 15 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 14 } x ^{\left( 18 - 14 \right)} y ^{ 14 }= 3060 x^{4} y^{14}$

Term 16 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 15 } x ^{\left( 18 - 15 \right)} y ^{ 15 }= 816 x^{3} y^{15}$

Term 17 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 16 } x ^{\left( 18 - 16 \right)} y ^{ 16 }= 153 x^{2} y^{16}$

Term 18 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 17 } x ^{\left( 18 - 17 \right)} y ^{ 17 }= 18 x y^{17}$

Term 19 : $\binom{ 18 }{ 18 } x ^{\left( 18 - 18 \right)} y ^{ 18 }= y^{18}$

Now we combine the expressions and we get

Term 12 : $\binom{ 12 }{ 11 } x ^{\left( 12 - 11 \right)} y ^{ 11 }= 12 x y^{11}$

Term 13 : $\binom{ 12 }{ 12 } x ^{\left( 12 - 12 \right)} y ^{ 12 }= y^{12}$

Now we combine the expressions and we get

$\x^{12} + 12 x^{11} y + 66 x^{10} y^{2} + 220 x^{9} y^{3} + 495 x^{8} y^{4} + 792 x^{7} y^{5} + 924 x^{6} y^{6} + 792 x^{5} y^{7} + 495 x^{4} y^{8} + 220 x^{3} y^{9} + 66 x^{2} y^{10} + 12 x y^{11} + y^{12}$
