The Binomial Expansion 二次项展开式.ppt

Powers of a + b We write 20 ! is called 20 factorial. ( 20 followed by an exclamation mark ) We can write The 9th term of is Powers of a + b can also be written as or This notation. . . . . . gives the number of ways that 8 items can be chosen from 20. is read as “20 C 8” or “20 choose 8” and can be evaluated on our calculators. The 9th term of is then In the expansion, we are choosing the letter b 8 times from the 20 sets of brackets that make up . ( a is chosen 12 times ). Powers of a + b The binomial expansion of is We know from Pascal’s triangle that the 1st two coefficients are 1 and 20, but, to complete the pattern, we can write these using the C notation: and Since we must define 0! as equal to 1. Powers of a + b Tip: When finding binomial expansions, it can be useful to notice the following: So, is equal to Any term of can then be written as where r is any integer from 0 to 20. The expansion of is Any term of can be written in the form where r is any integer from 0 to n. Generalizations The binomial expansion of in ascending powers of x is given by e.g.3 Find the first 4 terms in the expansion of in ascending powers of x. Powers of a + b Solution: e.g.4 Find the 5th term of the expansion of in ascending powers of x. Solution: The 5th term contains Powers of a + b It is These numbers will always be the same. The binomial expansion of in ascending powers of x is given by SUMMARY The ( r + 1 ) th term is The expansion of is Exercise 1. Find the 1st 4 terms of the expansion of in ascending powers of x. Solution: 2. Find the 6th term of the expansion of in ascending powers of x.
