Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Binomial Theorem after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • The expansion of \((x + y)^n\) has \(n+1\) terms.
  • The binomial coefficients are \(^nC_0, {}^nC_1, \dots, {}^nC_n\).
  • The powers of \(x\) decrease while those of \(y\) increase in successive terms.
  • Mathematical induction involves proving a base case and an inductive step.
  • The identity \(^kC_r + {}^kC_{r-1} = {}^{k+1}C_r\) is crucial in the proof.
  • The expansion is valid for all natural numbers \(n\).
  • The general term is \(T_{r+1} = {}^nC_r x^{n-r} y^r\).
  • \(r\) is the term index starting from 0.
  • Useful for finding coefficients and specific terms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The general term in (x + y)^n is ^nC_r x^r y^{n−r}

Middle term is always one term when n is even

Binomial expansion works for any value of x in (1 + x)^n, even if |x| > 1
