slide1. Algebra and Indices<br>
slide2. Introduction A binomial is an algebra expression containing 2 terms. For example, (x + y) is a binomial.
We know that
For higher powers, the expansion gets very tedious. Hence, the binomial theorem gives us the expansion for any positive integer power of (x + y)<br>
slide3. Pascal Triangle<br>
slide4. Binomial Theorem For any positive integer n,
where
In summation notation,
The (r + 1)th term is<br>
slide5. Binomial Theorem (cont) A useful special case of the Binomial theorem is
for any positive integer n.<br>
slide6. Binomial Theorem (cont) Example 1: use the Binomial theorem to expand the following expressions.
(x + y)5
(1 – x2)4
(1 – 1/x)10
(2 – 3x)8<br>
slide7. Binomial Series The formula of (1 + x)n can be extended to all real powers, i.e.
This expansion is valid for any real number n if |x|< 1.
Important notes:
Binomial theorem deals with a finite expansion,
i.e. n is a positive integer
B. It cannot use the button for the binomial series. It applies only to power of positive integer.<br>
slide8. Binomial Series (cont) Example 2: Use the binomial series formula to find the first four terms of the following expansion.
(1 + x)1/2
(4 + x2)1/2
(1 – 2x)-1
(2 – x)-2<br>
