Binomial Expression





Binomial expression :

It is the expansion of the powers of the algebraic function. the algebraic function (x+y)n can be expanded using the binomial theorem. the coefficient will be positive integer.

The binomial coefficients:

                       1

                   1      1

              1       2       1

          1       3       3       1

     1       4       6       4       1

1       5       10      10    5       1

Expansion of binomial expression:

(x+y)n=axnyn-b+axn-1yn-(b+1)+...............

Examples of Binomial expression:

Binomial expressions with variables :

The expression which has variables inside the binomial function is known as binomial expression with variables.

1) ( x + y ) 2 = 1x2y0 + 2xy + 1x0y2

                  = 1x2 + 2xy + 1y2

                  = x2 + 2xy + y2         

2) (x+y)= 1x5y0 + 5x4y1 + 10x3y2 + 10x2y3 + 5x1y4 + 1x0y5

                 = x5y0 + 5x4y1 + 10x3y2 + 10x2y3 + 5x1y4 + x0y5

                 = x5 + 5x4y1 + 10x3y2 + 10x2y3 + 5x1y4 + y5

Binomial expressions with constants:

The expression which has variables and constant inside the binomial function is known as binomial expression with constants.

 1) (x + 7)2 = x2*70 + 2*x1*71 + x0*72

              = x2 + 14x + 49

2) (x + 1)3  = 1*x3*y0 + 3*x2*y1 + 3*x1*y2 + 1*x0*y3

                    = x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3

Binomial expression involving subtraction:

This method can be applied until the second term can be negotiated.

Expansion of binomial expression involving subtraction:

(x-y)n = axnyn-0 - axn-1y1 + ...............

Example on binomial expression:

1) ( x - y ) 2 = 1x2y0 - 2xy + 1x0y2

                   = 1x2 - 2xy + 1y2

                   = x2 - 2xy + y2         

2) (x-y)5   = 1x5y0 - 5x4y1 + 10x3y2 - 10x2y3 + 5x1y4 - 1x0y5

                 = x5y0 - 5x4y1 + 10x3y2 - 10x2y3 + 5x1y4 - x0y5

                 = x5 - 5x4y1 + 10x3y2 - 10x2y3 + 5x1y4 - y5

3) (x - 1)3    = 1*x3*y0 - 3*x2*y1 + 3*x1*y2 - 1*x0*y3

                    = x3 - 3x2y + 3xy2 - y3

 

4) (x - 7)2 = x2*70 - 2*x1*71 + x0*72

                = x2 - 14x + 49
