[ended]Mathematics Tutoring Session #5 (Binomial Theory [Mon 22nd Feb 2016, 4:00 - 5:00pm])
Mathematics
Emmanuel Iwara(Tutor)
22-02-2016 13:30:00 +0000Good day all
This session has ended for today
The concept of binomial theorem and expansion is often tested on JAMB and other exams. so lets take a quick look into this topics.
Binomials - A polynomial is a series of terms. when there are only two terms the expression is called a binomial.
Trionomial- A three-termed expression is called a trinomial.
The Expansion of (a + b)n for any value of n is
(a + b)n = an + nan-1b1 + n (n-1) an-2b2 / 2! + n(n-1)(n-2)an-3/ 3! + ... +bn
Can anyone provide solutions to the following;
(a) Calculate the value of (2.01)3correct to 3 s.f., without using tables.
(b) Expand ( 1 + 2x )4
(c) Find the third term in the expansion of (a + b)5
(d) Find the coefficient of x10 in the expansion of (2 + x)12
(e) In the expansion of (1-2x)3,write down the number of terms.
Please give us your feedback after the session: http://goo.gl/forms/XVVy7QkNb5

@Adewale the correct answer to question (d) is 16896, since 1 2 combination 10 gives 66 x 2^8 = 16896
