## Karnataka 1st PUC Maths Question Bank Chapter 8 Binomial Theorem

Question 1.
State and prove Binomial theorem.

Some observations in a binomial theorem:
(1) The expansion of {a + b)n has (n + 1) terms
(2) The coefficients nCr occurring in the binomial theorem are known as binomial coefficients.
(3) The indices of V go on decreasing and that of ‘a’ go on increasing by 1 at each stage.
i.e., for each term: index of a + index of b-n.
(4) Since nCr=nCn_r we have
nC0 =nCn, nCx =nCn_r and so on.
Thus the coefficients of the terms equidistant from the beginning and the end in a binomial theorem are equal.
(5) General term in (a + b)n: Tr+1 – nCr anrbr
(6) Middle terms in (a + b)n

• When ‘n’ is even, the middle term
$$=\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)^{t h} \text { term }$$
• When ‘n’ is odd ,the middle term are
$$\frac{1}{2}(n+1)^{n} \text { term an } \frac{1}{2}(n+3)^{n} \text { term }$$

(7) Taking a = x and b = -y in the expansion, we get (x-y)n =[x + (-y)]n
