This document provides an overview of the binomial theorem. It defines the binomial theorem as the expansion of (a + b)n into a polynomial with binomial coefficients. It illustrates Pascal's triangle for expanding small values of n and proves the binomial theorem. It provides examples of expanding binomial expressions and finding specific terms without full expansion using the binomial theorem. Finally, it provides practice problems to test understanding of the binomial theorem.

of (𝑥 + 𝑦)𝑛 for small positive integral values of n; 2. Prove the Binomial Theorem; 3. Determine any term of (𝑥 + 𝑦)𝑛 , where n is a positive integer, without expanding; and 4. Solve problems using mathematical induction and the binomial theorem. THE BINOMIAL THEOREM The Binomial Theorem can be restated as follows: 𝑛 𝑛 𝑛 𝑟 𝑛−3 (𝑎+𝑏) = 𝑎 𝑏 , 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒 𝑎 ∈ ℝ, 𝑏 ∈ ℝ and c > 0 𝑟 𝑟=0 𝑛 The notation of is referred to as 𝑟 binomial coefficient, and is read as “combination of n taken r at a time”, defined as 𝑛 𝑛! 𝑟 = 𝑓𝑜𝑟 0 ≤ 𝑟 ≤ 𝑛 𝑟! 𝑛−𝑟 ! EXAMPLE 1 1. Use Pascal’s triangle to expand (𝑥 + 𝑦)9 . BINOMIAL THEOREM
