Study Notes
Binomial Expansion and Hayah
- Binomial Theorem is used to expand expressions of the form (a + x)n where n is a positive integer.
- The expansion of (a + x)n involves terms of the form nCr an-rxr where nCr is a binomial coefficient.
- The binomial coefficients are calculated using the formula nCr = n! / ( (n-r)! * r! ) where n! = n*(n-1)*(n-2)...*1.
- Pascal's Triangle provides a visual representation of binomial coefficients.
- Each row in Pascal's Triangle starts and ends with 1.
- The other coefficients in a row are obtained by adding the two coefficients just above in the preceding row.
- The powers of a decrease by 1 as the powers of x increase by 1 in each term of the expansion.
- The sum of the powers of a and x in each term is equal to the power of (a+x).
- The expansion of (a+x)^n has (n+1) terms.
Binomial Theorem when n is not a positive integer
- The expansion of (1+x)^n still holds for non-positive integer values of n, but the number of terms is infinite.
- The expansion is valid for |x| <1
- The expansion can be expressed as (1+x)^n= 1+nx+n(n-1)x^2/2!+n(n-1)(n-2)x^3/3!+....
- For example (1+x)^-2 = 1-2x+3x^2-4x^3+..., |x|<1
Examples of using binomial theorem
- Examples show how to find the expansions for various binomial expressions.
- One such example is expanding (2+x)^5.
- Expansions include expressions like (1-2x)^4
- These examples demonstrate the derivation of the terms involved in the expansion using Pascal's triangle.
