BINOMIAL

THEOREM
Prepared by: R. I. Ilagan
 • Illustrate Pascal’s Triangle in the
Objectives: 𝑛
expansion of (𝑥 + 𝑦) for small
positive values of 𝑛;
• Prove the binomial theorem;
• Determine any term of
𝑛
(𝑥 + 𝑦) , where 𝑛 is a positive
integer, without expanding.
 • Binomial coefficients
Pascal’s - The coefficient of a binomial
Triangle expansion.
Example 1: •(𝑥 + 𝑦)7

8
•(𝑥 + 𝑦)
5
•(𝑥 − 𝑦)
Factorial The symbol 𝑛! Read as “𝑛 factorial, ”
Notation is defined as

𝑛! = 𝑛 ⋅ 𝑛 − 1 ⋅ 𝑛 − 2 ⋅ 𝑛 − 3 ⋅ … ⋅ 2 ⋅ 1
Binomial • It use to determine the expansion
theorem of any power of a binomial of the
𝑛
form (𝑥 + 𝑦) .
