Re: Applications for Binomial Theorem
Hello khushal , as you want here we provides you solution of your query i.e. “applications for Binomial Theorem” as In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem (or binomial expansion) describes the algebraic expansion of powers of a binomial. According to the theorem, it is possible to expand the power (x + y)n into a sum involving terms of the form a xb yc, where the exponents b and c are nonnegative integers with b + c = n, and the coefficient a of each term is a specific positive integer depending on n and b Expansion of Binomials The binomial theorem can be used to find a complete expansion of a power of a binomial or a particular term in the expansion. Here are examples of each. Example: Expand (1 + x)4. Solution: A straightforward application of the binomial theorem gives us: (1 + x)4 = C(4, 0)14 + C(4, 1)13x + C(4, 2)12x2 + C(4, 3)1x3 + C(4, 4)x4 = 1 + 4x + 6x2 + 4x3 + x4 Example: Find the 7th summand of (1 − x)10. Solution: Now here is one we definitely do not want to expand completely in order to find the 7th summand! So what do we do? Let's think about the properties of the summands of the binomial expansion of (a + b)n (click here for a reminder): The first summand is C(n, 0)anb0 = an. The second summand is C(n, 1)an − 1b1 = nan − 1b. In general, the kth summand will contain C(n, k − 1) an − (k − 1)bk − 1. Notice the coefficient is not C(n, k) but C(n, k − 1). This is analogous to the fact that we call the first number in each row of Pascal's Triangle entry 0, not entry 1. So the 7th of (a + b)10 will be: C(10, 6) a10 − (7 − 1)b7 − 1 = (10!/(6!4!))a4b6. = 210a4b6. In our case, a = 1 and b = −x, so the summand we are looking for will be: 210 14(−x)6 = 210(−1)6x6 = 210x6. Much better than carrying out the full expansion! In this exercise you are to use binomial coefficients to find a particular coefficient in a binomial expansion. Each answer should be entered in integer form. Decide first which summand is called for. For example x2 appears in the second summand of (x + 2)3 but in the third of (4 − x)3. Click "New" for a new problem. Type your answer in the typing area. |
