CHAPTER 8
(Mathematical Induction
and Binomial Theorem)
Look Exercise 8.1. The Questions are like this:
1. 1+5+9+….+(4n-3) = n(2n-1)
2. 1+3+5+….+(2n-1) = n² and so on..
-TRICK:-
On the right side of equality, the formulas of Sum of series are given
and to the left side of equality nth term/General Term of series is given.
In Question 1, nth term is (4n-3) and formula for sum of series is n(2n-
1). an= (4n-3)
Sn = n(2n-1)
Given is a1=1, a2=5 and a3=9.
Now if you put n= 1,2 and 3 in an you will get 1,5 and 9 respectively.
a1=[4(1)-3]=1
a2=[4(2)-3]=5
a3=[4(3)-3]=9
If you put n=1 in Sn, you will get the first term as it is. S1=a1
S1= 1[2(1)-1]= 1
If you put n=2 in Sn, you will get the sum of first two terms of series.
S2=a1+a2
S2= 2[2(2)-1]= 6
If you put n=3 in Sn, you will get the sum of first three terms of the
series. S3= a1+a2+a3
S3= 3{2(3)-1] = 15
Condition:-
Binomial series converges if,
|x|<1 or -1<x<1 or x Є(-1,1)
Examples:-
1. (1+3x)-7 , Series is convergent if x=?
Applying condition,
|3x|< 1 |x|<
2. (1- x)1/2 , Series is convergent if x=?
Neglect –ve sign
| x| < 1 |x|<
3. (3+4x)-2
In this case, first take out 3 common and then check
3-2(1+ x)-2 Now, | x|< 1 |x|<
Some particular cases of expansion (1+x)n when n<0
Explanation:
Trick:
The coefficient of the term involving xm in the expansion of
(xp+(a/xq))n is Tr+1=nCr an-r.br whereas r=
( )
Apply the trick: r= = =5
So T5+1= 10C5 (x2)10-5.(-3/x2)5= -15309/8 (Answer)
