Study Notes
Binomial Theorem
-
The binomial theorem is a fundamental principle in algebra that allows us to expand expressions that are raised to a power, specifically of the form (a + b)^m. For any real number m and for any real numbers a and b where the absolute value of b is less than the absolute value of a, this theorem provides a systematic way to perform the expansion. The resulting expansion is expressed as:
- (a + b)^m = a^m + ma^(m-1)b + [m(m-1)/ 1 * 2] a^(m-2)b^2 + [m(m-1)(m-2)/ 1 * 2 * 3] a^(m-3)b^3 + ...
-
This formula illustrates how each term in the expansion is generated, where m corresponds to the power in the binomial expression, and each subsequent term involves products of a and b, multiplied by coefficients calculated based on the factorial of integers descending from m. This expansion is valid universally for any real number m, making it a versatile tool in mathematics, particularly in probability theory and combinatorics.
Infinite Geometric Series
-
A geometric progression (GP) is a sequence of numbers where each term is found by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor called the common ratio.
-
The sum of an infinite geometric series is given by S = a/(1-r) which is true when |r| < 1.
Exponential Series
-
The exponential series is a function that can be expressed as an infinite series:
- e^x = 1 + x/1! + x^2/2! + x^3/3! + ... + x^n/n! + ...
-
The series converges for all real values of x.
Logarithmic Series
-
The logarithmic series is a Maclaurin series for the natural logarithm function:
- logâ‚‘ (1 + x) = x - x^2/2 + x^3/3 - x^4/4 + ...
-
This series is valid when |x| < 1.
