Expansion of (a+b)n(a + b)^n

StarStarStarStar

The expansion is given by (a+b)n=k=0n(nk)ankbk(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k}b^k

Binomial theorem for negative integer exponents

StarStarStarStar

The expansion of (1x)n(1-x)^{-n} is given by (1x)n=k=0(n+k1k)xk(1-x)^{-n} = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \binom{n+k-1}{k} x^k

The importance of binomial coefficients in calculating probabilities

StarStarStarStar

Binomial coefficients are used in the binomial probability distribution, which models the number of successes in a fixed number of independent Bernoulli trials.

The binomial series in the general case

StarStarStarStar

The binomial series for (1+x)α(1 + x)^\alpha, where α\alpha is any real number, is given by (1+x)α=k=0(αk)xk(1 + x)^\alpha = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \binom{\alpha}{k} x^k

Definition of a binomial coefficient

StarStarStarStar

The binomial coefficient (nk)\binom{n}{k} is defined as n!k!(nk)!\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Relationship between the binomial theorem and Pascal's triangle

StarStarStarStar

Each row in Pascal's triangle represents the coefficients of the expanded form of (a+b)n(a + b)^n for n=0,1,2,n = 0, 1, 2, \dots

StarStarStarStar

Special case: (1+x)n(1 + x)^n where x<1|x| < 1 and nn is an integer

StarStarStarStar

The expansion is (1+x)n=1+nx+n(n1)2!x2+n(n1)(n2)3!x3+(1 + x)^n = 1 + nx + \frac{n(n-1)}{2!}x^2 + \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}x^3 + \dots

Combinatorial interpretation of binomial coefficients

StarStarStarStar

(nk)\binom{n}{k} can be interpreted as the number of ways to choose a subset of kk elements from a set of nn distinct elements

Generalization of binomial coefficients using gamma function

StarStarStarStar

For real or complex number zz and a non-negative integer kk, the generalized binomial coefficient is (zk)=Γ(z+1)Γ(k+1)Γ(zk+1)\binom{z}{k} = \frac{\Gamma(z+1)}{\Gamma(k+1)\Gamma(z-k+1)}
