Motivated by the formula $x^n = \sum_{k=0}^n\left(n \atop k\right) (x - 1)^k$ we investigate factorizations of the lower triangular Toeplitz matrix with $(i, j)$th entry equal to $x^{i-j}$ via the Pascal matrix. In this way, a new computational approach to a generalization of the binomial theorem is...
