The binomial coefficient C(11,7). This is the same as C(11,4) since 4=11-7, and the latter is easier to compute:

(11 * 10 * 9 * 8) / (4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 11 * 10 * 3 = 330.

By the way, the complete expansion is

(1+x)^11 = x^11 + 11*x^10 + 55*x^9 + 165*x^8 + 330*x^7 + 462*x^6 + 462*x^5 + 330*x^4 + 165*x^3 + 55*x^2 + 11*x + 1.

Show that if $n$ and $k$ are integers with $1 \leq k \leq n,$ then $\binom{n}{k} \leq \frac{n^{k}}{2^{k−1}}.$
