BINOMIAL THEOREM
1. BINOMIAL EXPRESSION :
Any algebraic expression which contains two dissimilar terms is called binomial expression.
1 1 1
For example : x – y, xy + , - 1, + 3 etc.
x z (x - y)1/ 3
2. BINOMIAL THEOREM :
The formula by which any positive integral power of a binomial expression can be expanded in the
form of a series is known as BINOMIAL THEOREM.
If x, y Î R and n Î N, then :
n
( x + y)n = nC0xn + nC1xn-1 y + nC2xn-2 y2 + ..... + nCrxn-r yr + ..... + nCnyn = å n C r x n - r y r
r =0
This theorem can be proved by induction.
Observations :
(a) The number of terms in the expansion is ( n+1) i.e. one more than the index.
(b) The sum of the indices of x & y in each term is n.
(c) The binomial coefficients of the terms (nC0, nC1.....) equidistant from the beginning and the end are
equal. i.e. nCr = nCr –1
ænö
(d) Symbol nCr can also be denoted by ç ÷ , C(n, r) or A nr .

Some important expansions :
(i) (1 + x)n = nC0 + nC1x + nC2x2 + ........ + nCnxn.
(ii) (1 – x)n = nC0 – nC1x + nC2x2 + ........ + (–1)n . nCnxn.
Note : The coefficient of xr in (1 + x)n = nCr & that in (1–x)n = (–1)r .nCr

Pascal's triangle
(i) Pascal's triangle - A triangular arrangement of numbers as shown. The numbers give the
binomial coefficients for the expansion of (x + y)n. The first row is for n = 0, the second
for n = 1, etc. Each row has 1 as its first and last number. Other numbers are generated by
adding the two numbers immediately to the left and right in the row above.
(ii) Pascal triangle is formed by binomial coefficient.
(iii) The number of terms in the expansion of (x+y)n is (n + 1) i.e. one more than the index.
(iv) The sum of the indices of x & y in each term is n.
(v) Power of first variable (x) decreases while of second variable (y) increases.
(vi) Binomial coefficients are also called combinatorial coefficients.
(vii) Binomial coefficients of the terms equidistant from the begining and end are equal.
(viii) rth term from the beginning in the expansion of (x + y)n is same as rth term from end in the
expansion of (y + x)n.

Illustration 25 : Prove that 22225555 + 55552222 is divisible by 7.
Solution : When 2222 is divided by 7 it leaves a remainder 3.
So adding & subtracting 35555, we get :
E = 22225555

ALLEN Binomial Theorem 13
For E1 : Now since 2222–3 = 2219 is divisible by 7, therefore E1 is divisible by 7
(Q xn – an is divisible by x –a)
For E2 : 5555 when devided by 7 leaves remainder 4.
So adding and subtracting 42222, we get :
E2 = 35555 + 42222 + 55552222 – 42222
= (243)1111 + (16)1111 + (5555)2222 – 42222
Again (243)1111 + 161111 and (5555)2222 – 42222 are divisible by 7
(Q xn + an is divisible by x + a when n is odd)
Hence 22225555 + 55552222 is divisible by 7.

If x < 1, the terms of the above expansion go on decreasing and if x be very small, a stage may be
reached when we may neglect the terms containing higher powers of x in the expansion. Thus, if x be
so small that its square and higher powers may be neglected then (1 + x)n = 1 + nx, approximately.
This is an approximate value of (1 + x)n
