BINOMIAL THEOREM

Expansion :
(x + y)n = n C0 x n y o n C1x n1y1 n C2 x n2 y 2 .... n Cn y n where n N

General term : Tr+1 = n

C r x n r y r
n r 1
Number of terms is C r 1 (Where r is no. of different Variables)
Coefficients :
(1+ x) n = Co + C1x + C2x2 + .. + Cnxn
Sum of binomial coefficients : Co + C1 + C2 + . + Cn = 2n
Sum of even &odd binomial coefficients is same Co + C2 + C4 + = C1 + C3 + C5 + = 2n-1
n (n 1) 2 n (n 1)( n 2) 3
For rational index (1 + x)n =1+ nx + x+ x + Where | x | < 1 & n can be v e or

To find sum of binomial coefficients just put all the variables equal to 1.
i.e. for (x 3y + 4z + 2t)1884 (1 3 + 4 + 2)1884 = 41884
n 1 r c n 1
Greatest term in (a + x)n at x = c is 1 . Or CHECK
r a x
1
a
if is an integer (say m) then greatest term is Tm+1= Tm
If its integral part is m then greatest term is Tm+1
If coefficients rth, ( r+1)th, ( r +2)th terms in (1+x)n are in A.P. then r=( n n 2 )/2
Try to remember : CoCr + C1Cr+1 + C2Cr+2 + . = 2n C n r

So Co2 C12 C22 .......... C2n 2n
