BINOMIAL THEOREM
BINOMIAL THEOREM
1.1 BINOMIAL EXPRESSION :
An algebric expression consisting of two different terms is called a binomial expression.

e.g. (1) x + y (2) x3 + y3
But (x + 2x) is not a binomial, it is called a monomial.
1.2 BINOMIAL THEOREM :
In elementary algebra, the binomial theorem describes the algebric expansion of powers of a binomial
expression.According to the theorem it is possible to expand the powers (x + y)n into a sum involving
terms of the form axbyc, where exponents b and c are non-negative integers with b + c = n and the
coefficient 'a' of each term is a specific positive integer depending on n and b.
This theorem was given by Newton.
If n  N
(Form a finite series)
Binomial Theorem  (x + y)n
Any index n  N
(Form an infinite series)
1.3 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT :
Earlier people used to multiply the brackets to expand the given binomial of known index.
Then came the Pascal triangle
(x + y)2 = (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2

(x + y)3 = x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3
(x + y)4 = x4 + 4x3y + 6x2y2 + 4xy3 + y4.
Note that
(a) The powers of x go down until it reaches reaches zero, starting value is n.
(b) The power of y goes up from zero untill it reaches n.
(c) The nth row of the Pascals triangle will be the coefficients of the expanded binomial.

BINOMIAL THEOREM
1.4 STATEMENT OF THE THEOREM :

(x + y)n = nC0xn + nC1xn – 1y + nC2 xn – 2 y2 + ............ + nCrxn – r · yr + ........ + nCn xn – n yn.
We observe T1 = nC0 xn
T2 = nC1 xn – 1 · y1
 General term in the expansion of (x + y)n is
Tr + 1 = nCr xn – r · yr
n
Where nCr is called as combinatorial or binomial coefficient also denoted by  r  .

Also, x  y n   n
Cr x n  r · y r
r0
1.5 IMPORTANT POINTS OF EXPANSION :

(1) Number of terms in expansion of (x + y)n is n + 1 i.e., one more than index.
(2) Sum of indices of x and y in each term in the expansion of (x + y)n is n.
(3) New expansions by (x + y)n

(a) We have (x + y)n = nC0xn + nC1 xn – 1y + nC2 xn – 2 y2 + ....... + nCn yn ..........(1)
rn
i.e., (x + y)n =  n Cr x n r · yr .
r0
(b) Replace y by – y
(x – y)n = nC0 xn – nC1 xn – 1y + nC2 xn – 2 y2 + ..... + nCr xn – r · yr (– 1)r +.....+ nCn ( – 1)n · yn
rn
i.e., (x – y)n =  n Cr  1r x n r · y r .
r0
(c) Now replace x by 1 and y by x in Ist

(1 + x)n = nC0 + nC1x + nC2x2 + nC3x3 +........ + nCrxr + ..... + nCn yn.
rn
Also, i.e., (1 + x)n =  n Cr x r .

r0
(d) (1 – x)n = nC
0 – nC
1 x+ nC
2x
2 + .........+ nCr (– 1)r xr + ....... + nCn (– 1)n xn.
rn
i.e., (1 – x)n =   1r n
Cr x r .
r0
(e) Also remember

(1 + x)n + (1 – x)n = 2 [nC0 + nC2x2 + ..............]
and (1 + x)n – (1 – x)n = 2 [nC1 + nC3 x3 + nC5 x5 + ..........]
 Coefficient of xr in the expansion of (1 + x)n is nCr.
Tr + 1 = nCr xr
 coefficient of (r + 1)th term = coefficient of xr = nCr in the expansion of (1 + x)n.
For e.g., Find the coefficient of x6 in (1 + 3x + 3x2 + x3)15 = [(1 + x)3]15 = (1 + x)45
 Tr + 1 = 45Crxr
 r = 6.
 coefficient is 45C6.
BINOMIAL THEOREM
(4) nC nC nC ,............., nC are called binomial coefficient or combinatorial coefficients and may be
0, 1, 2 n
simply written as C0, C1, C2, ............, Cn.
(x + y)n = nC0 xn y0 + nC1 xn – 1 y + nC2 x n – 2 y2 + ........ + nC0 x n –n yn.
Also, the sum of all the combinatorial coefficient.
i.e., nC + nC + nC + ......... + nC = 2n.
0 1 2 n
(5) Binomial coefficients of the term equidistant from beginning and end are equal.
(2x + 3y)2 = 2C0 (2x)2 + 2C1 (2x)1 (3y)1 + 2C2 (2x)0 (3y)2 .
Now coefficient of 1st and last term is same 2C0 = 2C2.
2.1 IMPORTANT TERMS IN BINOMIAL :

(A) General term (B) Term independent of x. (C) Middle term
(A) GENERAL TERM :

(Tr + 1)th term is called as general term in (x + y)n and general term is given by
Tr 1  n Cr x n r . yr
(B) TERM INDEPENDENT OF x :

It means term containing x0.

 Tr + 1 = 20Cr x20 – r (– 1)r = 20Cr x20 – 2r (– 1)r
xr
 20 – 2r = 0 ; r = 10
 11th term is independent of x.
(C) MIDDLE TERM :
Let Tm is middle term in expansion of (x + y)n then
Case I : If n is odd, then number of terms will be even so there is two middle terms

C0+ C1 + C2 + ......+ Cn = 2n ……(2)
(b) Sum of coefficients with alternate signs : putting x = –1 in(1)

We get
C0- C1 + C2 – C3 + ...... = 0 ……(3)
(c) Sum of coefficients of even and odd terms: from (3), we have
C0+ C2+ C4 + .......= C1+ C3+ C5 + ........ ……(4)
i.e. sum of coefficients of even and odd terms are equal.
from (2) and (4)

BINOMIAL THEOREM
Now, comparing coefficients of xr on both the sides, we get

C0Cr + C1Cr+1 + .......+ Cn-r Cn = 2nC n-r
2n!
= (n  r )! (n  r )! ……(6)
(e) Sum of squares of coefficients :

putting r = 0 in (6), we get
2n!
C02 + C12 + C22 + ......+ Cn2 =
n! n!
(f) putting r = 1 in (6), we get

C0 C1 + C1C2 + C2C3 + .......+ Cn-1 Cn = 2nC n–1
2n!
= (n  1)! (n  1)! ……(7)
(g) putting r = 2 in (6) , we get

C0C2 + C1C3 + C2C4 +....+ Cn-2Cn = 2nC
n-2
2n!
= (n  2)! (n  2)!
……(8)
(h) Use of Differentiation :

(1+x)n = C0+C1x + C2x2+.....+ Crxr + ......+ Cnxn ...(1)
Differentiating both sides of (1) w.r.t. x, we get

n(1+ x)n–1 = C1 + 2C2x + 3C3 x2 +......+ nCn x n–1
Now putting x = 1 and x = – 1 respectively

C1+ 2C2 +3C3+ .....+ nCn = n.2n–1 ……(9)
and C1 – 2C2+ 3C3 - .......= 0 ……(10)
(i) Adding (2) and (9)

C0+ 2C1 + 3C2 + ....+ (n+1) Cn = 2 n–1 (n+2) ……(11)
(j) Use of Integration :
Consider (1+x)n = C0+C1x + C2x2+.....+ Crxr + ......+ Cnxn ....(1)
Integrating (1) w.r.t. x between the limits 0 to 1, we get,

An Important Result :
For sums involving product of two binomial coefficients use
nC mC + nC mC n m n m m + nC
0 k 1 k – 1 + C2 Ck – 2 ............ + Ck C0 = k
Proof: Consider two series

(1 + x)n = nC0 + nC1x + nC2 x2 + ....... + nCk xk + ....... + nCn xn ……(1)
(1 + x)m = mCmxm + ......... + mCk xk + mC k – 1 xk – 1 + ......... + mC0 ……(2)
Here second series is written in reverse order.
Multiplying (1) and (2) and equate coefficients of xk on both sides to get
m + nC = nC mC + nC · mC n m
k 0 k 1 k – 1 + .......... + Ck C0.

6. Exercise-4 (Potential Problems for Board Preparations) 19 – 20

7. Exercise-5 (Rank Booster) 20 – 21

1.1 BINOMIAL EXPRESSION :

An algebric expression consisting of two different terms is called a binomial expression.

1.2 BINOMIAL THEOREM :

1.3 HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT :

(x + y)2 = (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2

1.4 STATEMENT OF THE THEOREM :

1.5 IMPORTANT POINTS OF EXPANSION :

(2) Sum of indices of x and y in each term in the expansion of (x + y)n is n.

(3) New expansions by (x + y)n

(c) Now replace x by 1 and y by x in Ist

Also, i.e., (1 + x)n =  n Cr x r .

(e) Also remember

2.1 IMPORTANT TERMS IN BINOMIAL :

(A) GENERAL TERM :

(B) TERM INDEPENDENT OF x :

(C) MIDDLE TERM :

Let Tm is middle term in expansion of (x + y)n then

3.1 NUMERICALLY GREATEST TERM IN (x + y)n :

3.2 BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS & THEIR PROPERTIES :

(1) nC = nCn – r  nCx = nCy has two solution x = y or x + y = n.

(1+x)n = C0+C1x + C2x2+.....+ Crxr + ......+ Cnxn ……(1)

(a) Sum of Coefficient : putting x = 1 in (1), we get

(b) Sum of coefficients with alternate signs : putting x = –1 in(1)

(d) Sum of products of coefficients : Replacing x by 1/x in (1)

Now, comparing coefficients of xr on both the sides, we get

(e) Sum of squares of coefficients :

(f) putting r = 1 in (6), we get

(g) putting r = 2 in (6) , we get

(h) Use of Differentiation :

Differentiating both sides of (1) w.r.t. x, we get

Now putting x = 1 and x = – 1 respectively

(i) Adding (2) and (9)

(j) Use of Integration :

Consider (1+x)n = C0+C1x + C2x2+.....+ Crxr + ......+ Cnxn ....(1)

Integrating (1) w.r.t. x between the limits 0 to 1, we get,

Integrating (1) w.r.t. x between the limits –1 to 0, we get

Proof: Consider two series

(1 + x)m = mCmxm + ......... + mCk xk + mC k – 1 xk – 1 + ......... + mC0 ……(2)

Here second series is written in reverse order.

3.3 AN IMPORTANT CONCEPT :

Finding nature of integral part of expression.

Step-1: Consider N ' = a  b  

Step-2: Use N + N' or N – N' such that result is integer.
