Chapter, , 8, , BINOMIAL THEOREM, vMathematics is a most exact science and its conclusions are capable of, absolute proofs. – C.P. STEINMETZv, 8.1 Introduction, In earlier classes, we have learnt how to find the squares, and cubes of binomials like a + b and a – b. Using them, we, could evaluate the numerical values of numbers like, (98)2 = (100 – 2)2, (999)3 = (1000 – 1)3, etc. However, for, higher powers like (98)5, (101)6, etc., the calculations become, difficult by using repeated multiplication. This difficulty was, overcome by a theorem known as binomial theorem. It gives, an easier way to expand (a + b)n, where n is an integer or a, rational number. In this Chapter, we study binomial theorem, for positive integral indices only., , 8.2 Binomial Theorem for Positive Integral Indices, , Blaise Pascal, (1623-1662), , Let us have a look at the following identities done earlier:, (a+ b)0 = 1, a+b≠0, (a+ b)1 = a + b, (a+ b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2, (a+ b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3, (a+ b)4 = (a + b)3 (a + b) = a4 + 4a3b + 6a2b2 + 4ab3 + b4, In these expansions, we observe that, (i) The total number of terms in the expansion is one more than the index. For, example, in the expansion of (a + b)2 , number of terms is 3 whereas the index of, (a + b)2 is 2., (ii) Powers of the first quantity ‘a’ go on decreasing by 1 whereas the powers of the, second quantity ‘b’ increase by 1, in the successive terms., (iii) In each term of the expansion, the sum of the indices of a and b is the same and, is equal to the index of a + b., , 2020-21

BINOMIAL THEOREM, , 161, , We now arrange the coefficients in these expansions as follows (Fig 8.1):, , Fig 8.1, , Do we observe any pattern in this table that will help us to write the next row? Yes we, do. It can be seen that the addition of 1’s in the row for index 1 gives rise to 2 in the row, for index 2. The addition of 1, 2 and 2, 1 in the row for index 2, gives rise to 3 and 3 in, the row for index 3 and so on. Also, 1 is present at the beginning and at the end of each, row. This can be continued till any index of our interest., We can extend the pattern given in Fig 8.2 by writing a few more rows., , Fig 8.2, , Pascal’s Triangle, The structure given in Fig 8.2 looks like a triangle with 1 at the top vertex and running, down the two slanting sides. This array of numbers is known as Pascal’s triangle,, after the name of French mathematician Blaise Pascal. It is also known as Meru, Prastara by Pingla., Expansions for the higher powers of a binomial are also possible by using Pascal’s, triangle. Let us expand (2x + 3y)5 by using Pascal’s triangle. The row for index 5 is, 1, 10, 5, 1, 5, 10, Using this row and our observations (i), (ii) and (iii), we get, (2x + 3y)5 = (2x)5 + 5(2x)4 (3y) + 10(2x)3 (3y)2 +10 (2x)2 (3y)3 + 5(2x)(3y)4 +(3y)5, = 32x5 + 240x4y + 720x3y2 + 1080x2y3 + 810xy4 + 243y5., , 2020-21

162, , MATHEMATICS, , Now, if we want to find the expansion of (2x + 3y)12, we are first required to get, the row for index 12. This can be done by writing all the rows of the Pascal’s triangle, till index 12. This is a slightly lengthy process. The process, as you observe, will become, more difficult, if we need the expansions involving still larger powers., We thus try to find a rule that will help us to find the expansion of the binomial for, any power without writing all the rows of the Pascal’s triangle, that come before the, row of the desired index., For this, we make use of the concept of combinations studied earlier to rewrite, the numbers in the Pascal’s triangle. We know that, , n, , Cr =, , n!, r!(n – r )! , 0 ≤ r ≤ n and, , n is a non-negative integer. Also, nC0 = 1 = nCn, The Pascal’s triangle can now be rewritten as (Fig 8.3), , Fig 8.3, , Pascal’s triangle, , Observing this pattern, we can now write the row of the Pascal’s triangle for any index, without writing the earlier rows. For example, for the index 7 the row would be, 7, , C0 7C1 7C2 7C3 7C4 7C5 7C6 7C7., , Thus, using this row and the observations (i), (ii) and (iii), we have, (a + b)7 = 7C0 a7 + 7C1a6b + 7C2a5b2 + 7C3a4b3 + 7C4a3b4 + 7C5a2b5 + 7C6ab6 + 7C7b7, An expansion of a binomial to any positive integral index say n can now be visualised, using these observations. We are now in a position to write the expansion of a binomial, to any positive integral index., , 2020-21

It is n in the first term, (n–1) in the second term, and so on ending with zero, in the last term. At the same time the index of b increases by unity, starting with, zero in the first term, 1 in the second and so on ending with n in the last term., In the expansion of (a+b)n, the sum of the indices of a and b is n + 0 = n in the, first term, (n – 1) + 1 = n in the second term and so on 0 + n = n in the last term., Thus, it can be seen that the sum of the indices of a and b is n in every term of the, expansion., , 8.2.2 Some special cases In the expansion of (a + b)n,, (i), , Taking a = x and b = – y, we obtain, (x – y)n = [x + (–y)]n, = nC0xn + nC1xn – 1(–y) + nC2xn–2(–y)2 + nC3xn–3(–y)3 + ... + nCn (–y)n, = nC0xn – nC1xn – 1y + nC2xn – 2y2 – nC3xn – 3y3 + ... + (–1)n nCn yn, , Thus (x–y)n = nC0xn – nC1xn – 1 y + nC2xn – 2 y2 + ... + (–1)n nCn yn, Using this, we have, , (x–2y)5 =, , 5, , C0x5 – 5C1x4 (2y) + 5C2x3 (2y)2 – 5C3x2 (2y)3 +, , 5, , C4 x(2y)4 – 5C5(2y)5, , = x5 –10x4y + 40x3y2 – 80x2y3 + 80xy4 – 32y5., (ii), , Taking a = 1, b = x, we obtain, (1 + x)n = nC0(1)n + nC1(1)n – 1x + nC2(1)n – 2 x2 + ... + nCnxn, = nC0 + nC1x + nC2x2 + nC3x3 + ... + nCnxn, , Thus, , (1 + x)n = nC0 + nC1x + nC2x2 + nC3x3 + ... + nCnxn, , 2020-21

Thus, in, order to show that 6n – 5n leaves remainder 1 when divided by 25, we prove that, 6n – 5n = 25k + 1, where k is some natural number., We have, (1 + a)n = nC0 + nC1a + nC2a2 + ... + nCnan, For a, , = 5, we get, (1 + 5)n = nC0 + nC15 + nC252 + ... + nCn5n, , i.e., , (6)n = 1 + 5n + 52.nC2 + 53.nC3 + ... + 5n, , i.e., , 6n – 5n = 1+52 (nC2 + nC35 + ... + 5n-2), , or, , 6n – 5n = 1+ 25 (nC2 + 5 .nC3 + ... + 5n-2), , or, , 6n – 5n = 25k+1, , where k = nC2 + 5 .nC3 + ... + 5n–2., , This shows that when divided by 25, 6n – 5n leaves remainder 1., , EXERCISE 8.1, Expand each of the expressions in Exercises 1 to 5., 1.

Prove that, , 8.3, , ∑3, r =0, , r n, , C r = 4n ., , General and Middle Terms, , 1., , In the binomial expansion for (a + b)n, we observe that the first term is, n, C0an, the second term is nC1an–1b, the third term is nC2an–2b2, and so on. Looking, at the pattern of the successive terms we can say that the (r + 1)th term is, n, Cran–rbr. The (r + 1)th term is also called the general term of the expansion, (a + b)n. It is denoted by Tr+1. Thus Tr+1 = nCr an–rbr., , 2., , Regarding the middle term in the expansion (a + b)n, we have, (i) If n is even, then the number of terms in the expansion will be n + 1.

Observing the terms we, can say that the first term from the end is the last term, i.e., (n + 1)th term of the, expansion and n + 1 = (n + 1) – (1 – 1). The second term from the end is the nth term, of the expansion, and n = (n + 1) – (2 – 1). The third term from the end is the (n – 1)th, term of the expansion and n – 1 = (n + 1) – (3 – 1) and so on. Thus rth term from the, end will be term number (n + 1) – (r – 1) = (n – r + 2) of the expansion.

Since they are equal so 34Cr – 6 = 34C2r – 2, Therefore, either r – 6 = 2r – 2 or r–6 = 34 – (2r – 2), [Using the fact that if nCr = nCp, then either r = p or r = n – p], So, we get r = – 4 or r = 14. r being a natural number, r = – 4 is not possible., So, r = 14., , Miscellaneous Exercise on Chapter 8, 1.

The arrangement of these coefficients was in, the form of a diagram called Meru-Prastara, provided by Pingla in his book, Chhanda shastra (200B.C.). This triangular arrangement is also found in the, work of Chinese mathematician Chu-shi-kie in 1303. The term binomial coefficients, was first introduced by the German mathematician, Michael Stipel (1486-1567) in, approximately 1544. Bombelli (1572) also gave the coefficients in the expansion of, (a + b)n, for n = 1,2 ...,7 and Oughtred (1631) gave them for n = 1, 2,..., 10. The, arithmetic triangle, popularly known as Pascal’s triangle and similar to the MeruPrastara of Pingla was constructed by the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, (1623-1662) in 1665., The present form of the binomial theorem for integral values of n appeared in, Trate du triange arithmetic, written by Pascal and published posthumously in, 1665., , —v —, , 2020-21
