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

Maxima and Minima Formula

In this topic we will learn important maxima and minima formula for JEE Mains and Advanced and also important for Class 12 board student. So lets explore important formula of maxima and minima .  MAXIMA-MINIMA Table Of Contents 1. INTRODUCTION : MAXIMA AND MINIMA: (a) Local Maxima /Relative maxima : A function f ( x ) is said to have a local maxima at x = a if f ( a ) ≥ f ( x ) ∀ x ∈ ( a − h , a + h ) ∩ D f(x) Where h is some positive real number. (b) Local Minima/Relative minima: A function f ( x ) is said to have a local minima at x = a if f ( a ) ≤ f ( x ) ∀ x ∈ ( a − h , a + h ) ∩ D f(x) Where h is some positive real number. (c) Absolute maxima (Global maxima): A function f has an absolute maxima (or global maxima) at c if f ( c ) ≥ f ( x ) for all x in D , where D is the domain of f . The number f ( c ) is called the maximum value of f on D . (d) Absolute minima (Global minima): A function f has an absolute minima at c if f ( c ) ≤ f ( x ) for all x in D and the numb...
