Binomial Theorem - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

BINOMIAL THEOREM

\((x+y)^{n}={ }^{n} C_{0} x^{n}+{ }^{n} C_{1} x^{n-1} y+{ }^{n} C_{2} x^{n-2} y^{2}+\ldots\)\( . .+{ }^{n} C_{r} x^{n-r} y^{r}+\ldots\)\( . .+{ }^{n} C_{n} y^{n}\) \(=\displaystyle \sum_{ r =0}^{ n }{ }^{ n } C _{ r } x ^{ n - r } y ^{ r }\), where \(n \in N\).

1. IMPORTANT TERMS IN THE BINOMIAL EXPANSION ARE :

(a) General term: The general term or the \((r+1)^{\text {th }}\) term in the expansion of \((x+y)^{n}\) is given by

\(T _{ r +1}={ }^{ n } C _{ r } x ^{ n \cdot r } \cdot y ^{r}\)

(b) Middle term :

The middle term (s) is the expansion of \((x+y)^{n}\) is (are) :

(i) If \(n\) is even, there is only one middle term which is given by \(T _{( n +2) / 2}={ }^{ n } C _{ n / 2} \cdot x ^{ n / 2} \cdot y ^{ n / 2}\)

(ii) If \(n\) is odd, there are two middle terms which are \(T _{( n +1) / 2}\) & \(T _{[( n +1) / 2]+1}\)

(c) Term independent of x :

Term independent of \(x\) contains no \(x\); Hence find the value of r for which the exponent of \(x\) is zero.


2. SOME RESULTS ON BINOMIAL COEFFICIENTS :

(a) \({ }^{n} C_{x}={ }^{n} C_{y} \Rightarrow x=y\) or \(x+y=n\)

(b) \({ }^{ n } C _{ r -1}+{ }^{ n } C _{ r }={ }^{ n +1} C _{ r }\)

(c) \(C _{0}+ C _{1}+ C _{2}+\ldots \ldots= C _{ n }=2^{ n }, C _{ r }={ }^{ n } C _{ r }\)

(d) \(C _{0}+ C _{2}+ C _{4}+\ldots \)\(\ldots= C _{1}+ C _{3}+ C _{5}+\ldots\)\( \ldots=2^{ n -1}, C _{ r }\) \( ={ }^{ n } C _{ r }\)

(e) \(C _{0}^{2}+ C _{1}^{2}+ C _{2}^{2}+\ldots \)\(\ldots+ C _{ n }^{2}\)\(={ }^{2 n} C _{ n }\)\(=\dfrac{(2 n ) !}{ n ! n !}, C _{ r }\)\(={ }^{ n } C _{ r }\)


3. Greatest coefficient & greatest term in expansion of \((x+a)^{n}\) :

(a) If \(n\) is even, greatest binomial coefficient is \({ }^{n} C_{n / 2}\)

If \(n\) is odd, greatest binomial coefficient is \({ }^{ n } C _{\frac{ n -1}{2}}\) or \({ }^{ n } C _{\frac{ n +1}{2}}\)

(b) For greatest term :

Greatest Term \(= \begin{cases}T_p \,\&\, T_{p+1} & \text{if $ \frac{n+1}{\left|\frac{x}{a}\right|+1}$ is an integer equal to p}\\T_{q+1} & \text{if $ \frac{n+1}{\left| \frac{x}{a}\right|+1}$is a non integer & $\in (q,q+1), $} \\& \text{$q\in I$} \end{cases}\)


4. BINOMIAL THEOREM FOR NEGATIVE OR FRACTIONAL INDICES:

If \(n \in R\), then \((1+x)^{n}\) \(=1+n x+\dfrac{n(n-1)}{2 !} x^{2}+\dfrac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3 !} x^{3}+\ldots\) \(\infty\) provided \(|x|<1\)

Note :

(i) \((1-x)^{-1}=1+x+x^{2}+x^{3}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \infty\)

(ii) \((1+x)^{-1}=1-x+x^{2}-x^{3}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \infty\)

(iii) \((1-x)^{-2}=1+2 x+3 x^{2}+4 x^{3}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \infty\)

(iv) \((1+x)^{-2}=1-2 x+3 x^{2}-4 x^{3}+\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \infty\)


5. EXPONENTIAL SERIES :

(a) \(e^{x}=1+\dfrac{x}{1 !}+\dfrac{x^{2}}{2 !}+\dfrac{x^{3}}{3 !}+\ldots \ldots . \infty ;\) where \(x\) may be any real or complex number & \(e=\displaystyle \lim_{n \rightarrow \infty}\left(1+\dfrac{1}{n}\right)^{n}\)

(b) \(a ^{ x }=1+\dfrac{ x }{1 !} \ln a +\dfrac{ x ^{2}}{2 !} \ln ^{2} a +\dfrac{ x ^{3}}{3 !} \ln ^{3} a +\ldots \ldots \infty\), where \(a >0\)


6. LOGARITHMIC SERIES :

(a) \(\ln (1+x)=x-\dfrac{x^{2}}{2}+\dfrac{x^{3}}{3}-\dfrac{x^{4}}{4}+\ldots \ldots \infty\), where \(-1<x \leq 1\)

(b) \(\ln (1- x )=- x -\dfrac{ x ^{2}}{2}-\dfrac{ x ^{3}}{3}-\dfrac{ x ^{4}}{4}-\ldots \ldots . \infty\), where \(-1 \leq x <1\)

(c) \(\ln \dfrac{(1+ x )}{(1- x )}=2\left( x +\dfrac{ x ^{3}}{3}+\dfrac{ x ^{5}}{5}+\ldots \ldots . \infty\right),| x |<1\)

What are Function and how its work on Calculus?

What are Function ? Table Of Contents Introduction with beautiful example Here's a plant, and what you see here is it's  shadow. Can you list the things that the length of the shadow is dependent on. One, it's dependent on the position of the source of light. Anything else that you can think of. If the height of the plant grows then the shadows length will also change, right. So the length of the shadow is dependent on the position of the source of light, and the height of the plant too. So we can say that the length of the shadow is a function of the following two things. The output is dependent on these two things, which could be considered as the inputs. That's a very simple way to understand functions. Could you think of more inputs, this output is dependent on here, tell us yours answers in the comment section below.  How do Function work in calculus ? That's what we'll see in this topics. Previously, we saw an idea to find the instant...

Method of differntiation - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

METHODS OF DIFFERENTIATION 1. DERIVATIVE OF f(x) FROM THE FIRST PRINCIPLE : Obtaining the derivative using the definition \(\displaystyle\displaystyle \lim_{\delta x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{\delta y}{\delta x}= \displaystyle\displaystyle \lim_{\delta x \rightarrow 0} \dfrac{f(x+\delta x)-f(x)}{\delta x}=f^{\prime}(x)=\dfrac{d y}{d x}\) is called calculating derivative using first principle or ab initio or delta method. All Chapter Notes, Concept and Important Formula 2. FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS : If \(f\) and \(g\) are derivable function of \(x\) , then, (a) \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}(\mathrm{f} \pm \mathrm{g})=\dfrac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{dx}} \pm \dfrac{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}}\) , known as SUM RULE (b) \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}(\mathrm{cf})=\mathrm{c} \dfrac{\mathrm{df}}{\mathrm{dx}}\) , where \(\mathrm{c}\) is any constant (c) \(\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dx}}(\mathrm{fg})=\mathrm{f} \dfrac{\mathrm{dg}}{\mathrm{dx}}+\mathrm{g} \dfrac{\mathrm{df}...
