Using binomial theorem, expand each of the following:


To find: Expansion of


Formula used: (i)


(ii) (a+b)n = nC0an + nC1an-1b + nC2an-2b2 + …… +nCn-1abn-1 + nCnbn


We have,


Let = a and = b … (i)


Now the equation becomes (a + b)4




(Substituting value of b from eqn. i )



(Substituting value of a from eqn. i )




…(ii)


We need the value of a4,a3 and a2, where a =


For , Applying Binomial theorem


=






On rearranging the above eqn.




We have, = + x3 + x2 + 2x + 1


For, (a+b)3 , we have formula a3+b3+3a2b+3ab2


For, , substituting a = 1 and b = in the above formula








For, (a+b)2 , we have formula a2+2ab+b2


For, , substituting a = 1 and b = in the above formula




… (v)


Putting the value obtained from eqn. (iii),(iv) and (v) in eqn. (ii)







On rearranging


Ans) + + - +
