(x+a)n=k=0∑n(kn)xkan−k binomial theorem, which states that for any non-negative integer n, the expansion of (x+a)n is given by the sum of the terms involving x and a, each raised to some power:
Here: n müsbət tam ədəd.
n is a non-negative integer.
∑ represents the summation symbol, which means to sum the terms generated by the formula inside the parentheses for k=0 to n.
(kn) or nCk (also written as C(n,k) or "n choose k") represents the binomial coefficient, which is the number of ways to choose k items from a set of n items. It is calculated using the formula: (kn)=k!(n−k)!n! where "!" denotes the factorial function.
xk and an−k are the terms involving x and a, each raised to some power.
In the expansion of (x+a)n, there are (n+1) terms, with each term being a product of the binomial coefficient, x raised to some power, and a raised to some other power. The powers of x and a decrease and increase, respectively, as we move from the first term to the last term in the expansion.
For example, (x+a)3: (x+a)3=(nC0)x3a0+(nC1)x2a1+(nC2)x1a2+(nC3)x0a3 Using the binomial coefficients: (x+a)3=1(x3)(a0)+3(x2)(a1)+3(x1)(a2)+1(x0)(a3)=x3+3x2a+3xa2+a3
This formula allows us to easily expand binomials raised to any power without having to manually apply the distributive property multiple times.
