Definition
The Binomial Theorem is a fundamental algebraic principle that describes the expansion of powers of a binomial expression. It states that:
Summary
Formula and Expansion:
- Explains how to expand expressions without multiplying the binomial repeatedly.
- Demonstrates the pattern of terms and coefficients.
- Shows how binomial coefficients correspond to the entries in Pascal’s Triangle.
- Illustrates how each coefficient can be derived from the sum of two adjacent coefficients above it.
Properties of Binomial Coefficients:
- Symmetry property
- Relationships between consecutive coefficients.
Applications:
- Algebraic expansions
- Probability (binomial probability distribution)
- Combinatorics (counting problems)
- Calculus (approximation of functions using the Binomial Series for any real exponent)
Extensions:
- For non-integer exponents, the theorem extends to an infinite series known as the generalized binomial theorem.
