1.0 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

Our Aim is to learn about the expansion of a Binomial Theorem for a
rational index using vandermonde’s theorem. Further we aim at learning
problems to be solved using the different types in Binomial series.
1.1 BINOMIAL THEOREM

1.1.1 Vandermonde’s theorem
If n is a positive integer, then (p+q)n=pn+nc1pnq1+nc2 pn-2q2+nc3pn-3q3
+-------+ qr for all values of p and q.
Proof.
If p and q are positive integers, we have
p p p
(1+x)p = 1 + . 1 x. + .2 . +2x. . +. x. n +.n . ¥. . …… (1)

q q q
(1+x)q = 1 + . 1 x. + 2. . +2x. . +. x .n +.n . ¥. . …… (2)

Where pr = p(p-1)(p-2)…. ( p - r -1)

qr = q(q-1)(q-2)…. ( q - r -1)

By vandermonde’s theorem this expression is and this is the
n!
coefficient of f(p+q)
\ The coefficient of any power of x in f(p+q)
= The coefficient of the same power of x in the product f(b)xf(q)
\f(p)+(q)=f(p+q) for all values of p and q, provides |x|<1.
\ f(p)f(q)f(r)=f(p+q+r)
\f(p)f(q)f(r)….. s factors = f(p+q+r+…… s factors)
case (1): n is a positive fraction
u
Let n = where u and v are positive integers.

The Aim is to learn a new concept known as convergency and

divergency of series in Algebra. Also we are going to learn about oscillating
series finitely and infinitely. Comparison test is a test to know whether the
given series is convergent or divergent. Also Candey’s Root test,
D’Alembert’s ratio test also helps us in finding a series whether Convergent
or divergent.
4.1 Convergence and divergence of series

Definition 1: Sequence : If to the integers 1,2,3,….n there correspond
definite number u1,u2,u3….un then the set u1,u2…un is called a sequence and
is denoted by un.
Definition 2: Limit of a sequence
A sequence un is said to tend towards a finite limit if the successive
terms of the sequence approach a definite number l in a way that the
difference |un -l| becomes less than any positive quantity.
Definition 3: A sequence which tends to a finite limit is said to converge

and is called a convergent sequence.
Eg: (1) Consider the sequence (un) where
n -1 1
un = un; l=i m
2n + 3n ®a 2
This sequence is convergent
Note : A sequence [un] cannot converge to two distinct limits l and l1.
Definition 4: A sequence which converges to zero is called a null sequence
Definition 5: Series : An expression of the form u1+u2+u3+….+un+… where
for every positive integral value of n, there is a definite value for un is called
a series.
Definition 6: If each term of the series is followed by another, it is called an
infinite series.
Definition 7: If the series terminates after a finite number of terms, it is
called a finite series.
Definition 8: u1+u2+u3+…+un is called the sum to n terms of the series. This
is denoted by sn.
Definition 9: If sn tends to a finite limit ‘&’ as n tends to a then the series is
said to be a convergent series.
l i m
Definition 10: If s = ± ¥then the series is said to be a divergent series.
n ®a n
Definition 11: If a series does not converge to any finite limit nor diverge to
plus infinite or minus infinity, then the series is said to oscilate.

The series åx n
converges if |x|<1, diversion of x ³ 1, n=0 oscillates finitely
n =0
if x = -1 and oscillates infinitely if x<-1

(2) If u1+u2+u3+….+un+…. is convergent and has the sum s, then
um+1+um+2+….+…. is convergent and has the sum s -(u1+u2+…..+un) where
m Î n.
(3) The u1+u2+….+un+….. is convergent and has the sums, there
ku1+ku2+ku3+…..+kun+…… converge to ks
(4) If un converges to s, S vn converges to l, then S (un+vn) converges to s+l

(5) A series of positive terms cannot oscillate. It is either convergent or
divergent

(6) The series S un is convergent, then s =0

The converse is not true.

Our Aim is to learn on Absolute convergence Alternating series

and conditionally convergent.
5.1. Definition
Alternating series is a series in which the terms are alternatively

positive and negative.
Theorem: An alternating series a1-a2+a3-a4+…… converges if each term is

numerically less than the proceeding term and the nth term tends to zero as
n® ¥
Proof Let the series be u1-u2+u3-u4+…… where u1,u2,…. are all >0 and
u1>u2>u3>….un>un+1>……….
Let sn denote the sum to n terms of this series
\ S2n=(u1- u2)+ (u3- u4)+ (u5- u6)+….+ (u2n-1- u2n)
As u1> u2> u3>……. un> un+1…. We have \ s2n >0
S2n+2=s2n+(u2n+1-u2n+2)>s2n
\ S2n is a monotonic increasing sequence …(1)

Also s2n=u1-(u2-u3)-(u4 -u5)…-(u2n-2-u2n-1)-u2n
As u2>u3, u4>u5,…-u2n-2>u2n-1
We have s2n < u1 …(2)
From (1) and (2)
We get {s2n} is a monatomic increasing sequence bounded above.

series is not convergent.
5.2.1 Absolute Convergence
1. Let un be a series of positive and negative terms. It is said to be
absolutely convergent if åu n is convergent.
2. If åu n is divergent and un is convergent then un is conditionally
convergent.
Example :
1. Consider the series

1- + - +. . . .
2 3 4
This series is convergent.
1 1 1
And the 1+ + + +. . . .is. divergent.

Theorem
An absolutely convergent series is convergent.

Proof : Let un be a given absolutely convergent series.
Then by definition, åu n is convergent.
Now un + |un| = 2un if un is +ve
= 0, if un is –ve.
\ every term of the series å ( u + | u |)³

n n 0 and is less than or equal to the
corresponding term of the convergence series å2 un| |
\ å [u + | u ]| is convergent.
n n
But we know that åu n is convergent
\ un is also convergent.
Note: (1) When we say that un is absolutely convergent, we assert that the
convergence of another series, (viz) åu n
(2) The series åu n is absolutely convergent if after a certain stage

and the resulting series is also absolutely convergent.

9.1 Reciprocal Equations

Definition : An equation in which the reciprocal of every root is also a root,
is called a Reciprocal equation
Eg: Consider the equation
x5+x4+x3+x2+x+1=0….(1)
1
Replace x å y ,
n
1 1 1 1 1
+ + + + + +1 =0
x 5 x4 x3 2x x
ie 1+x+x2+x3+x4+x5=0
Which is the original equation
\ If x=a is a root of (1) then
1
x= is also a root
a
Note : The following rules are to be observed before we solve a reciprocal
equation.
Rule 1: In a reciprocal equation if the coefficients have all like signs, then -1
is a root of it.
Eg : Consider the equation
x+4x4+3x3+3x2+4x+1=0
Here coefficient of x5=const term=1
Coeff. of x4 = Coeff. of x =4
coeff fx3=coeff fx2=3
All the coefficients have like
signs ie, some sign
Hence By rule 1,
x=-1 is a root of it
Rule If the coefficients of the terms equidistant from the first and last term
have opposite signs, then x=1 is a root
Eg : Consider
6x5-x4-43x3+43x3+43x2+x-6=0
Coefficient of x5=6, constant term = -6
Coefficient of x4=-1, coefficient of x=1
Coefficient of x3=-43, Coefficient of x=-43
\ The coefficients of the first and last term have opposite signs
\x = 1 is a root/

9.3 Character and Position of roots – Descarte’s rule to signs

If f(x) is a polynomial with real coefficients with the terms arranged in
descending power of x, the number of real positive roots of the equation
f(x)=0 does not exceed the number of changes in the sign of the coefficients
of f(x) written in a row in the order in which they occur.
Also the number of real negative roots of f(x)=0 does not exceed the
number of changes in the sign of the coefficients of f(-x) considered in a
similar manner.
9.4 Examples
Ex-1. Show that the equation
x6-x5+3x4+4x-1=0 has atleast two imaginary roots
pf: f(x) = x6-x5+3x4+4x-1
The series of changes in sign are
+ -+ +-1
These are three changes of sign in f(x)
The equation cannot have more than three +ve real roots.
Step-2 In f(x)
f(-x) = (-x)6-(-x)5+3(-x)4+4(-x)-1
= x6+x5+3x4-4x-1
The series of charges of sign in f(-x) and

+ + + à
- -
This is only one charge of sign
\ f(x) cannot have more than one negative real not.
But the given equation has other two imaginary roots.
2) Find the number of imaginary roots and the number and position of the
real roots of x5-x4-4x-1=0
Charges of sign
+ à
- - -
There is only are change of sign.
\ The no of +ve real roots is £1
Step 2 : f(-x)=(-x)5 -(-x)4-4(-x)-1
=-x5-x4+4x-1
Arranges of sign - - + -
These are two changes of sign in f(x)
\The number of negative real roots is £2
The number of real roots is £3
But the equation is of degree 5 mix
\ There can be minimum two imaginary roots.
Position:
f(x)=x5-x4 -4x-1
x 2 1 0 -1 -2
f(x) + - - + -
\The positive real root is between 2 and 1. These are two negative real
roots is one root between 0 and -1 and -1 and -2.
9.5 Symmetric Function of roots
By symmetric function of the roots, we mean a function consists of all
the roots and which remains unaltered if any two roots are interchanged.
If a 1, a 2, a 3 are the roots of the equation
a0x3+a1x2+a2x+a3=0, then
a 1+ a 2+ a 3 , a 12+ a 22+ a 32 , a 13+ a 23+ a 33
…….are all symmetric functions of eth roots.

degree (n-1) and each root of f1(x)=0 lies in each of the (n-1) intervals
between the n roots of f(x)=0
(3) If all the roots of f(x)=0 are real, then the roots of f1(x)=0, f11(x)=0
f111(x)=0 are also real
(4) At most only real root of f(x)=0 can lie between two consecutive roots
of f1(x)=0
(5) If f1(x)=0 has k real roots, then f(x)=0 cannot have more than (k+1) roots

14.1 Curvature in Cartesians form
y
A P
Oy
O x
Let A be a fixed point on the curve y=f(x) let s denote the are along AP
measured from A in the curve y=f(x) where P is a any point on y=f(x) let the
tangent at P make an angle y with the x axis. Then, as P moves along the
curve, s and y vary and the rate of which y increases relative to s is called
the curvature of the curve as r i.e. in symbols dy /ds is called the curvature
of the curve at r . In other words the curvature is the rate of change of the
direction of the tangent at P. Also curvature of a circle is the reciprocal of its
radius.
14.1.1 Radius of Curvature

y

O x
Consider the curve y=f(x)
Let P and Q be two points on this curve. Let the tangents at P and Q make
angles y and y +dy respectively with x axis let the normals at r and Q
intersect C as let A be a fixed point on the curve. Let are AP=s
Arc AQ = &+D& PQ = rs
d s
As Q tends to P, limit of PC is
dy
d s d s
\ P =C \ P C
dy dy

P C y d
d s
P C= is called the radius of curvature at p.
dy
The circle with the centre at C and radius=PC has the same tangent
and the same curvature as the curve y=f(x) has at P.

Definition1: Let u be a function of x and y. If u(tx,ty)=t×u(x,y) then u(x,y)
is called a homogeneous function of degree n in x and y.
Eg: u(x,y) = ax2+2hxy+by2
u (t x, ty) = at2x2+2ht2xy+bt2y2
= t2(ax2+2hxy+by2)
=t2u(x,y)
u (x,y) is a homogeneous function of 2nd degree in x and y

If u be a homogeneous function of nth degree in x and y then

20.1 Double Integrals:
When a function f(x) is integrated with respect to n between the limits

b
a and b, we have the definite integral òa f ( x ) d .x If the integral is a function
x and y
i.e., f(x,y) and if it is integrated between the limits a and b for x and c and y
for y, we get a double integral and is denoted by the symbol

y = dx = b
ò
y= c =
x a
òf (x ,y )d x d y
y=c x=a
Evaluation of Double integrals

y = dx = b
To evaluate ò
y= c =
x a
òf (x ,y )d x d , ywe first integrate f(x,y) with respect
to x partially (treating y, a constant), between a and b. After this inner
integration and substituting the limits for x, we get the integrand a function
of y. If we integrate this integrand, w.r.t. y between the limits y=c and y=d,
d b
we get the double integral ò f ò(x y, d) n d evaluated.

R is the region as show here.
The limits of the variables of integration are not given. \ we can choose
the order of integration arbitrarily.
We shall integrate first w.r.t. to x and then w.r.t y.
Treating y=a constant means that it is equivalent to drawing a line || l to x
axis arbitrarily lying in the region R of integration. Let P be (x0,y) ; Q be
(x1,y), since PQ is ||l to x axis (y=a constant)
x varies from x0 to x1
\ x0=0 and x1+2y=2
\ (x1, y) lies on x+2y=2
\ x1+2y=2
x1=2-2y
\ The limits for x are x=0 to x=2-2y
To find the limits for y :

We have to find the variation of the line PQ. So that the region R
is fully covered. To sweep the entire area of R, PQ has to start from the
position where y=0, more parallel to itself and should go up to the position
BC where y=1.

There are three types of integrals
(i). first kind (ii). Second kind (iii). Third kind
(i) first kind of either a ® + o¥ r ®b + ¥or both, then the case is called an
improper integral of first kind.
(ii) second kind : an improper integral is called a second kind if f(x) is
unbounded at one or more points of the integral of integration.

(iii) third kind : An improper integral is of third kind if it is of first kind and
second kind.

We will learn on finding the convergence of Improper Integral

23.1 Convergence of Improper Integrals
Definition 1: The interval whose length or range is infinite is called an
infinite interval.
Example :The intervals (a,¥), (-a,b) and (-a,¥) are Infinite intervals
b
Definition: Proper integral. The definite integral òa
f ( x )d is
x called a proper
integral if the range of integration is finite and f(x) is bounded.

For example, ò0
s i xn d ax proper integral
b
Improper Integral : The definite integral ò
a
f ( x )d xis called an improper
integral if (1) the interval (a,b) is not finite or (2) the interval is finite but f(x)
is not bounded or (3) neither the interval (a,b) is finite nor f(x) is bounded.
There are two kinds of improper integrates (viz) of first kind and
second kind.
First Kind: When the range of integration is infinite and f(x) is bounded.
¥ d x
Eg : ò is an improper integral.
0 1 + x2
b
Second kind: A definite integral òa
f ( x )d in
x which the range of integration
is finite but the integrate f(x) is unbounded at one or more points of the
interval a £ x £ b.
4 d x
For example ò is an improper integral of second kind.

(ii) ò is an improper integral of second kind.
0 x2
Convergence of Improper integrals
b
The integral ò
a
f ( x )d isx said to Converge to the value I, if for any arbibarily
chose possible number Î, however small but not zero these exists a
b
corresponding positive number |N such that | òa
f ( x )d |<Î
x for all values of
b³ N
Similarly we define the convergence of an integral, when the lower
limit is infinite or when the integral becomes in finite at the upper or lower
limit.
In other words, when the limit of an improper integral as defined is a
definite finite number, we say that the given integral is convergent. When
the limit is a or -a, we say that the integral is called divergent is the value of
the integral does not exist.
In case the limit is neither a definite number use a o r -a then the
integral is called oscillatory and therefore in this case the value of the
integral doesnot exist. the integral is not convergent.

In this lesson we shall study the evaluation of double integral using
change of order of integration.
25.1. Change of order of integration in double Integral
When the limits for inner integration are functions of a variable, the
change in order of integration will result in changes in the limit of
b J
integration i.e. the double integral òa J òg ( x , y) dxdy will take the form
d f2( y )
ò ò g (x y, d) y d x
c f 1( x )
When the order of integration is changed.

This process of converting a given double integral into an equivalent
double integral is called change of order or integration.
Working Rule : (1) The region of integration is identified first
(2) a rough sketch of the region is drawn
(3) New limits are fixed
(4) Then integral is evaluated.

i.e. x - 1 =a ± 2 y- 2

Our aim is to determine Jacobians using partial derivatives and the
concept of a determinant.

¶v ¶v
¶x ¶y
æ u / vö ¶ (u , v )
and is denoted by ç ÷o r

Let u,v,w be functions of x,y,z the Jacobica of u,v and w w.r.t. x,y,z is
defined by

Note : Jacobians will be useful while evaluating multiple integrals which is

an easy way of evaluation.
Result 1: Let u,v, be function of x and y, whose x and y functions of a,b,
then
¶ (u , v ) ¶ ( x , y ) ¶ (u , v )

¶( x , y ) ¶ (a , b ) ¶ (a , b )
¶ (u , v ) ¶ ( x , y )
Result 2 Prove that =1
¶ ( x , y ) ¶ (u , v )
Proof : In the above result (1) Put a =u; b=x we have.

¶ (u , v ) ¶ ( x , y ) ¶ (u , v )

¶ ( x , y ) ¶ (u , v ) ¶ (u , v )

26.3. Change of variable in case of Two variables

Formout1. Suppose we want to charge the variable in the integral
ò fò(x y, d) x d toy u,v by the relation x=f(u,v); y= f (u,v)

Eliminate v, we get a relation between u,x and y \ x can be expressed

interms of x and y.
