10.7 Binomial TheoremMon Nov 25 Do Now Expand 1) 2)
Binomial Expansion • Let’s look at the expansions of the following powers of (a + b)^n:
Patterns of Binomial Expansion • 1) There is one more term than the power of the exponent • 2) In each term, the sum of the exponents is equal to the power the binomial is raised • 3) The exponents of A start with the highest and decrease, while the exponents of B start with 0 and increase • 4) The coefficients follow a pattern
Pascal’s Triangle • Pascal’s Triangle describes the pattern of the coefficients: 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 3 3 1 1 4 6 4 1 1 5 10 10 5 1
Conclusion • Binomial Theorem using Pascal’s Triangle: • For any binomial (a+b) and any natural n, where the constants C are from the (n+1)st row of Pascal’s Triangle
Ex • Expand (a – b)^5
Ex • Expand
You Try • Expand the following • 1) • 2)
Closure • Expand (2 + x)^4 • HW: p.905 #1-19 odds
10.7 Binomial Expansion and Factorial NotationTues Nov 26 • Do Now • Expand (3x – 2y)^3
Disadvantages of Pascal’s Triangle • While Pascal’s Triangle is very useful, as the exponent of the binomial expansion gets bigger, Pascal’s Triangle requires that we compute every row…
Binomial Theorem Using Factorial Notation • For any binomial a + b and any natural number n,
Ex • Expand
Ex • Expand
Total Number of Subsets • When you have n elements, and there is no exact number you want, the total number of subsets is 2^n
Ex • The set {A, B, C, D, E} has how many subsets?
Ex • Wendy’s offers the following condiments on its single hamburger: • {Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, tomato, lettuce, onion, pickle} How many different ways can Wendy’s serve a single hamburger?
Closure • Would you rather use Pascal’s Triangle or Binomial Factorization to expand a binomial? Why? • HW: p.905 #1-11 odds (new way) 31-34
