BINOMIAL THEOREM (Text)

\[\color {royalblue} {Definition\ of\ Factorial\ Notation}:\ \hspace{20cm}\]
\[The\ continued\ product\ of\ first\ ‘n’ \ natural\ numbers\ is\ called\ n\ factorial\]
\[and\ is\ denoted\ by\ n!\ and\ defined\ by\ n!\ = 1×2×3×………..×n\]
\[Ex:\ 5!\ =\ 1×2×3×4×5\ = 120\ \hspace{10cm}\]
\[Note:\ 0!\ =\ 1\ \hspace{14cm}\]
\[\color {royalblue} {Binomial\ theorem\ for\ a\ positive\ integral\ index}:\ \hspace{20cm}\]
\[If\ ‘n’\ is\ any\ positive\ integer,\ then\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[(X\ +\ a)^n\ =\ X^n\ +\ nc_1 X^{n-1}a\ +\ \ nc_2 X^{n-2}a^2\ +\ …………………..\ +\ \ nc_r X^{n-r}a^r\ +\ …….\ a^n\]
\[Note:\ nc_r\ =\ \frac{n!}{(n-r)!\ r!}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\color {royalblue} {General\ term\ of\ the\ expansion\ of\ (X\ +\ a)^n}:\ \hspace{20cm}\]
\[In\ the\ binomial\ expansion\ for\ (X\ +\ a)^n ,\ we\ observe\ that\ the\ first\ term\ is\ nC_0x^n,\ the\ second\ term\ is\ nC_1 x^{n-1} a,\ the\ third\ term\ is\ nC_2x^{n-2},\ and\ so\ on.\]
\[Looking\ at\ the\ pattern\ of\ the\ successive\ terms\ we\ can\ say\ that\ the\ (r +1 )^{th}\ term\ is\ nC_rx^{n-r} a^r.\]
\[The\ (r +1 )^{th}\ term\ is\ also\ called\ the\ general\ term\ of\ the\ expansion\ ( x +a )^n .\ It\ is\ denoted\ by\ T_{r + 1}\]
\[T_{r + 1} = nC_rx^{n-r} a^r.\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\color {purple} {Example\ 1:}\ \color{red}{Write\ down\ the\ general\ term\ of\ the\ expansion\ of}\ (x\ +\ \frac{2}{x})^{12}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\color {blue}{Solution:}\ T_{r + 1} = nC_rx^{n-r} a^r \hspace{18cm}\]
\[Here\ X\ =\ x,\ a\ =\ \frac{2}{x},\ n\ =\ 12\ \hspace{14cm}\]
\[T_{r + 1} = 12C_r\ x^{12-r}\ (\frac{2}{x})^r \hspace{15cm}\]
\[T_{r + 1} = 12C_r\ x^{12-r}\ 2^r\ x^{-r}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[ = 12C_r\ 2^r\ x^{12-r-r}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\boxed{T_{r + 1} = 12C_r\ 2^r\ x^{12-2r}}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\color {purple} {Example\ 2:}\ \color {red}{Write\ down\ the\ general\ term\ of\ the\ expansion\ of}\ (x^2\ -\ \frac{2}{x})^{9}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\color {blue}{Solution:}\ T_{r + 1} = nC_rx^{n-r} a^r \hspace{18cm}\]
\[Here\ X\ =\ x^2,\ a\ =\ -\frac{2}{x},\ n\ =\ 9\ \hspace{14cm}\]
\[T_{r + 1} = 9C_r\ (x^2)^{9-r}\ (-\frac{2}{x})^r \hspace{15cm}\]
\[ = 9C_r\ x^{18-2r}\ (-2)^r\ x^{-r}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[ = 9C_r\ (-2)^r\ x^{18-2r-r}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\boxed{T_{r + 1} = 9C_r\ (-2)^r\ x^{18-3r}}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\color {purple} {Example\ 3:}\ \color {red}{Find\ the\ 6^{th}\ term\ in\ the\ expansion\ of}\ (x\ +\ \frac{1}{x})^{10}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\color {blue}{Solution:}\ T_{r + 1} = nC_rx^{n-r} a^r \hspace{18cm}\]
\[Here\ X\ =\ x,\ a\ =\ \frac{1}{x},\ n\ =\ 10,\ r\ =\ 5\ \hspace{14cm}\]
\[T_{5 + 1} = 10C_5\ x^{10-5}\ (\frac{1}{x})^5 \hspace{15cm}\]
\[ = 10C_5\ x^5\ 1^5\ x^{-5}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[ = 10C_5\ x^{5 – 5}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[T_6 = 10C_5\ x^0\ \hspace{15cm}\]
\[\therefore\ \boxed{The\ 6^{th}\ term\ is\ 10C_5}\ \hspace{15cm}\]

\[We\ assume\ that\ x^{32}\ occurs\ in\ 15C_r\ x^{60 – 7r}\ \hspace{15cm}\]
