Binomial Theorem PDF

1. The binomial theorem expresses the expansion of (x + a)n as a sum of terms involving binomial coefficients. It states that the powers of x and a in each term sum to n. 2. The general term in the expansion is Tr+1 = nCr xn-r ar. The coefficients in the expansion are the binomial coefficients nCr. 3. For even n, the middle term of the expansion of (x + a)n is the (n/2+1)th term. For odd n, the middle terms are the (n+1)/2th and (n+3)/2th terms.

Binomial Theorem
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. If n is a positive integer then ( x + a)n = n C 0 x n + nC1x n 1a + n C 2 x n 2 a 2 + ... + nCr x n r a r + ...... + nCna n . The expansion of ( x + a)n contains (n + 1) terms. In the expansion, the sum of the powers of x and a in each term is equal to n. In the expansion, the coefficients n C 0 , nC1, n C 2 ,...,n Cn are called binomial coefficients and these are simply denoted by C0 , C1, C 2 ,..., Cn . In the expansion, (r + 1)th term is called the general term. It is denoted by Tr +1 . Thus Tr +1 = n Cr x n r ar .
