Chapter 5 - The Binomial Theorem The binomial theorem tells us how to expand brackets like (3 - 2x)11 quickly.
If we have some brackets to a power then there are three ways we can expand them.
If n (the power) is quite small then we can just expand them as normal. (a + b)2 = (a + b)(a + b)
= 1a2 + 2a1b1 + 1b2
(a + b)3 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)
= 1a3 + 3a2b1 + 3a1b2 + b3
(a + b)4 = (a + b)(a + b)(a + b)(a + b)
= 1a4 + 4a3b1 + 6a2b2 + 4a1b3 + b4
After this it gets a little time consuming so we start to use…
12
Pascal’s triangle If we look at the first few expansions then we start to notice a pattern in the coefficients (the numbers in front of the x, x2, x3, etc). (a + b)2 = 1a2 + 2a1b1 + 1b2 (a + b)3 = 1a3 + 3a2b1 + 3a1b2 + 1b3 (a + b)4 = 1a4 + 4a3b1 + 6a2b2 + 4a1b3 + 1b4 The coefficients when n (the power) is four are the same as the numbers on the fifth row of Pascal’s triangle.
Pascal’s triangle
1 1 1
1 2 1 1 3 3 1
1 4 6 4 1
Each number is equal to the two above it added together.
This predicts that (a + b)5 = 1a5 + 5a4b1 + 10a3b2 + 10a2b3 + 5a1b4 + 1b5
13
Expand (2x + 3y)4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Pascal’s triangle says (a + b)4 = 1a4 + 4a3b1 + 6a2b2 + 4a1b3 + 1b4 (2x + 3y)4 = 1.(2x)4 + 4.(2x)3.(3y)1 + 6.(2x)2(3y)2 + 4.(2x)1(3y)3 + 1.(3y)4
= 16x4 + 4.8x3.3y + 6.4x2.9y2 + 4.2x1.27y3 + 1.81y4 = 16x4 + 96x3y + 216x2y2 + 216xy3 + 81y4
14
The Binomial theorem For brackets with powers much bigger than this like (3 + 2x)17 we start to use the Binomial theorem.
(1 + x)7 = 1 + 7x + 7 X 61 X 2
x2 + 7 X 6 X 51 X 2 X 3
x3 + .
.
= 1 + 7x + 21x2 + 35x3 + .

(1 + x)n = 1 + nx + n(n – 1)1 X 2
x2 + n(n – 1)(n – 2)1 X 2 X 3
x3 + . .
.
15
(1 + x)n = 1 + nx + n(n – 1)1 X 2
x2 + n(n – 1)(n – 2)1 X 2 X 3
x3 + . . .
(1 + 2x)9 = 1 + 9 X (2x) + 9 X 81 X 2
(2x)2 + 9 X 8 X 71 X 2 X 3
(2x)3 + .
= 1 + 18x + 36 X 4x2 + 84 X 8x3 + .
= 1 + 18x + 144x2 + 672x3 + .
(1 + x2)10 = 1 + 10 X (x
2) + 10 X 9
1 X 2 (x
2)2 + 10 X 9 X 8
1 X 2 X 3 (x
2)3 +
. . .
= 1 + 5x + 45 x x2
4 + 120 x (x3
8) + .
. . = 1 + 5x + 11.25x2 + 15x3 + .
. .
16
This formula only works if the number is 1. If the number isn’t 1 then we need to make it 1 by bringing it out of the bracket.
(2 + x)6 = [2(1 + x2)]6
= 26 x (1 + x2)6
= 64 x (1 + 6 X (x2) + 6 X 5
1 X 2 (x
2)2 + 6 X 5 X 4
1 X 2 X 3 (x

4 + 20 x (x3
8) + . .
. = 64 x (1 + 3x + 3.75x2 + 2.5x3 + . .
. = 64 + 192x + 3.75x2 + 240x3 + . .
.
(1 + x)n = 1 + nx + n(n – 1)1 X 2
x2 + n(n – 1)(n – 2)1 X 2 X 3
x3 + . . .
17
We can use the binomial theorem to calculate high powers of numbers, like (0.98)10, quickly. (1 − 2x)10 = 1 − 20x + 180x2 − 960x3 +..
----------------------------------------------------------------
Compare 1 – 2x and 0.98
1 – 2x = 0.98 x = 0.01 So if we substitute x = 0.01 into our expansion for (1 – 2x)10 we get an approximation for (0.98)10.
----------------------------------------------------------------
(1 − 2x)10 = 1 − 20x + 180x2 − 960x3 + . . .
= 1 − 20(0.01) + 180(0.01)2 −
960(0.01)3
= 1 − 0.20 + 180 x 0.0001 − 960 X
0.000001
= 1 − 0.20 + 0.018 − 0.00096
= 0.81704
and the real value of (0.98)10 is 0.81707 so we get a very
good approximation just using the first four terms of the
expansion. We don’t need to go any further than x3
because (0.01)4 is 0.00000001 which is so small it is
irrelevant.
18
We can also write the formula using combination and factorial notation. 9! (9 factorial) = 9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1
Bob has seven friends but only three spaces in his car. How many different ways can he choose three people to give a lift to out of a group of seven?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Arrangements where order doesn’t matter are called combinations.
We can calculate the numbers of ways to choose 3 people from a group of 7 people by using factorial and
7C3 = 7!
4! 3! = �73�
these are all just different ways of writing the same thing.
nCr = n!
(n – r)! r! = �nr�
19
(1 + x)n = nC0 + nC1 x1 + nC2 x2 + . . . + nCr xr +. . . +
nCnxn
(1 + x)n = 1 + nx + n(n – 1)1 X 2
x2 + n(n – 1)(n – 2)1 X 2 X 3
x3 + . . .
(1 + x)n = �n0� + �n1�x1 + �73�x
2 + . . . + �73� xr +. . . +
nCn�73�xn
These are just three different ways of writing the same thing. Notice that nC1 (the number of ways of choosing 1 person from n) is n and nCn (the number of ways of choosing n people from n people) is 1. If you have 8 friends, how many different ways can you choose 1 of them? 8. If you have 8 friends, how many different ways can you choose 8 of them? 1.

Chapter 7 – Geometric sequences and series Arithmetic sequences are adding (or taking away) number patterns. We always call the first number a and the number we add on each time d. Take the sequence with a = 4 and d = 3 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 4, 7, 10, 13, = 4, 4 + 1X3, 4 + 2X3, 4 + 3x3… = a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d… Notice that the number of ‘d’s is always one less than the term number. In general the nth term is a + (n-1)Xd so the 10th term here would be 4 + 9X3 = 31.
23
A Geometric sequence is a multiplying number pattern (though we could be multiplying by a fraction so the numbers are going down). We always call the first number a and the number we multiply by each time r. Take the sequence with a = 3 and r = 2 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 3, 6, 12, 24, = 3, 3 X 21, 3 X 22, 3 X 23,… = a, a X r1, a X r2, a X r3,… Notice that the number of ‘r’s is always one less than the term number. In general the nth term is a X rn-1 so the 10th term here would be 4 X 39 = 78,732.
1st 2nd 3rd 4th … nth a, ar, ar2, ar3, … arn-1
24
Notice that when we divide one term by another the ‘a’s cancel. This can be very useful when answering questions. 3rd term 2nd term
= ar2
ar1 = r
The second term of a geometric sequence is 2 and the fifth term is 54. Find the common ratio and the 10th term. ------------------------------------------------------------- 5th term = ar4 = 54 2nd term = ar1 = 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------
ar4
ar1 = 542
r3 = 27 r = 3
25
If we end up with r2 = something the answer could be positive or negative.
The second term of a geometric sequence is 5 and the fourth term is 20.
Find the common ratio and the 10th term. ----------------------------------------------------------- ar3 = 20 ar1 = 5 --------------------------------------------------------------
ar3
ar1 = 205
r2 = 4 r = +2 or -2
26
We can use geometric sequences to solve interest questions.
Ann invests an amount of money at a rate of interest of 4% per year. After 5 years it was worth £10,000. How much did she invest at the start? ------------------------------------------------------------- This is a geometric sequence with a = amount and r = 1.04. ---------------------------------------------------------------- After 5 years = 6th term = ar5 = 10,000 a X (1.04)5 = 10,000 a X 1.21665 = 10,000
a = 10,0001.21665
a = £8219.29
27
What is the first term in the geometric progression
3, 6, 12, 24, . . . to exceed 1 million?
-----------------------------------------------------------
This is a geometric sequence with a = 3 and r = 2
nth term = arn-1 = 3 X 2n-1
----------------------------------------------------------------
3 X 2n-1 > 1,000,000
log(3X2n-1 ) > log 1,000,000
log 3 + log 2n-1 > log 1,000,000
log 3 + (n-1)log 2 > log 1,000,000
(n-1)log 2 > log 1,000,000 – log 3
n – 1 > log 1,000,000 – log 3log 2
n > 19.35
n = 20 as n must be an
integer.
We can use the laws of logarithms to solve geometric sequence questions.
28
Up till now we have been looking at geometric sequences which involves each term by itself. We are now going to look at geometric series which are the sum of the sequences.
Sum of the first n terms of a geometric series = Sn Sn = a + ar + ar2 + . . . + arn-3 + arn-2 + arn-1
Sometimes it is more convenient to write it as
Sn = a(rn – 1)r – 1
by multiplying top and bottom by – 1.
Sn = a(1 - rn)1 - r
29
Proof of formula We are going to - write out the sum of the first n terms - multiply both sides by r - take the bottom line away from the top line - put both sides into brackets - divide through ------------------------------------------------------------------
Sn = a + ar + ar2 + . . . + arn-3 + arn-2 + arn-1
rSn = ar + ar2 + ar3 + . . . + arn-2 + arn-1 +
arn
Sn – rSn = a −
arn
Sn – rSn = a - arn
(1 – r)Sn = a(1 – rn)
Sn = a(1 - rn)
1 - r

Find the sum of the 1st 10 terms of the following series
2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + . . .
----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a Geometric Series with a = 2 , r = 3 and n = 10.
Sn = a(1 - rn)
1 - r
Sum of the first 10 terms = S10
S10 = 2(1 - 310)
1 - 3 = 59, 048
31
Find the how many terms are in the following series
1024 − 512 + 256 − 128 + . . . – 2 + 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a Geometric Series with a = 1024 , r = − 12
but what is n?
----------------------------------------------------------------
nth term = arn-1
nth term = 1
arn-1 = 1
1024 X (− 12)n-1 = 1
(− 12)n-1 = 1
1024
Log(− 12)n-1 = 1
1024
(n-1)Log(− 12) = Log 11024
(n-1) = Log 1
1024
Log − 12
n = 1
32
What is the least value of n such that the sum
1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + . . .
exceeds 2,000,000?
-------------------------------------------------------------
This is a geometric series with a = 1 and r = 2
Sn = a(rn – 1)
r - 1
----------------------------------------------------------------
a(rn – 1)
r - 1 > 2,000,000
1(2n – 1)
2 - 1 > 2,000,000
2n - 1 > 2,000,001
2n > 2,000,001
log 2n > log 2,000,001
n log 2 > log 2,000,001
n > log 2,000,001log 2
n > 20.9
n = 21 as n must be an integer.
33
Find ∑ (3 X 2r)
-----------------------------------------------------------
= 3 x 21 + 3 X 22 + 3 X 23 + . . . + 3 X 210
= 3 X (21 + 22 + 23 + . . . + 210)
This is 3 X a geometric series with a = 2, r = 2 and
n = 10
--------------------------------------------------------------
Sn = a(rn – 1)
r - 1
= 2(210 – 1)
2 - 1
= 6138
34
If we look at the series with a = 3 and r = 0.5 3 + 1.5 + 0.75 + 0.375 + . . . If we look at the series or sum at certain points Sum of 1st 5 terms = S5 = 5.8125 Sum of 1st 10 terms = S10 = 5.9994 Sum of 1st 20 terms = S20 = 5.999994 As the number of terms we are adding goes up the sum goes up as well but not by a lot. In fact it will never actually get to 6, it will just get closer and closer and closer for ever. We say that ‘it tends to 6 ‘ or ‘it has a limit of 6’ or ‘the sum to infinity is 6’ This series is convergent. Not all series converge, some diverge. If the series is going to converge then r (the number we multiply by) must be between – 1 and + 1. If it isn’t then the series will be divergent.
35
Sum to infinity of a geometric series
S∞ = a1 - r
for lrl < 1
Proof of formula
Take a number less than 1, say 12
(½)2 = 0.25 (½)3= 0.125 (½)4 = 0.06125
The bigger n gets the smaller (½)n gets. It gets nearer and
nearer (but never actually gets to) zero. We say as n tends
to infinity (½)n tends to zero.
As n » ∞, (½)n » 0
And this is true for any r between – 1 and + 1.
So in the formula rn disappears, (1 – 0) = 1 and
Sn = a(1 - rn)
1 - r becomes
S∞ = a
1 - r
36
Find the sum to infinity of the series
120 + 40 + 10 + 2.5 + . . .

The sum of the first 4 terms of a geometric series is 15
and the sum to infinity is 16. Find the possible values of r.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Sum of 1st n terms Sum to infinity
Sn = a(1 - rn)
1 - r S∞ =
a1 - r
Sum of the first 4 terms Sum to infinity
a(1 – r4)
1 - r = 15
a1 - r
= 16
----------------------------------------------------------------
If we divide the 1st equation by the 2nd we get rid of the a
and the 1 – r (remember to divide we can flip the 2nd
fraction and multiply).
1 – r4 = 1516
r4 = 116
r = + 12 or r = − 1
