Exercise 2.6

Question 1.
Expand the following by using binomial theorem:
(i) (2a – 3b)4

Solution:

Question 2.
Evaluate the following using binomial theorem:
(i) (101)4
(ii) (999)5
Solution:
(i) (x + a)n = nC0 xn a0 + nC1 xn-1 a1 + nC2 xn-2 a2 + ……… + nCr xn-r ar + …… + nCn an
(101)4 = (100 + 1)4 = 4C0 (100)4 + 4C1 (100)3 (1)1 + 4C2 (100)2 (1)2 + 4C3 (100)1 (1)3 + 4C4 (1)4
= 1 × (100000000) + 4 × (1000000) + 6 × (10000) + 4 × 100 + 1 × 1
= 100000000 + 4000000 + 60000 + 400 + 1
= 10,40,60,401

(ii) (x + a)n = nC0 xn a0 + nC1 xn-1 a1 + nC2 xn-2 a2 + ……… + nCr xn-r ar + …… + nCn an
(999)5 = (1000 – 1)5 = 5C0 (1000)5 – 5C1 (1000)4 (1)1 + 5C2 (1000)3 (1)2 – 5C3 (1000)2 (1)3 + 5C4 (1000)5 (1)4 – 5C5 (1)5
= 1(1000)5 – 5(1000)4 – 10(1000)3 – 10(1000)2 + 5(1000) – 1
= 1000000000000000 – 5000000000000 + 10000000000 – 10000000 + 5000 – 1
= 995009990004999

Question 3.
Find the 5th term in the expansion of (x – 2y)13.
Solution:
General term is tr+1 = nCr xn-r ar
(x – 2y)13 = (x + (-2y))13
Here x is x, a is (-2y) and n = 13
5th term = t5 = t4+1 = 13C4 x13-4 (-2y)4
= 13C4 x9 24 y4

= 13 × 11 × 10 × 8x9y4
= 13 × 880x9y4
= 11440x9y4

Question 4.
Find the middle terms in the expansion of
(i) (x+1x)11
(ii) (3x+x22)8
(iii) (2x2−3x3)10
Solution:
(i) General term is tr+1 = nCr xn-r ar

Question 5.
Find the term in dependent of x in the expansion of

Solution:
(i) Let the independent form of x occurs in the general term, tr+1 = nCr xn-r ar

ndependent term occurs only when x power is zero.
18 – 3r = 0
⇒ 18 = 3r
⇒ r = 6
Put r = 6 in (1) we get the independent term as

[∵ 9C6 = 9C9-6 = 9C3]

Let the independent term of x occurs in the general term

Independent term occurs only when x power is zero.
15 – 3r = 0
15 = 3r
r = 5
Using r = 5 in (1) we get the independent term
= 15C5 x0 (-2)5 [∵ (-2)5 = (-1)5 25 = -25]
= -32(15C5)

Independent term occurs only when x power is zero
24 – 3r = 0
24 = 3r
r = 8
Put r = 8 in (1) we get the independent term as
= 12C8 212-8 x0
= 12C4 × 24 × 1
= 7920

Question 6.
Prove that the term independent of x in the expansion of

Solution:
There are (2n + 1) terms in expansion.
∴ tn+1 is the middle term.

Question 7.
Show that the middle term in the expansion of is 

Solution:
There are 2n + 1 terms in expansion of (1 + x)2n.
∴ The middle term is tn+1.
