Solution:

Step 1: Applying the Binomial Theorem to the first term

According to the Binomial Theorem, the expansion of $(a + b)^n$ is given by $\sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$.

For $(x + 1)^6$:

$(x + 1)^6 = \binom{6}{0}x^6 + \binom{6}{1}x^5(1) + \binom{6}{2}x^4(1)^2 + \binom{6}{3}x^3(1)^3 + \binom{6}{4}x^2(1)^4 + \binom{6}{5}x(1)^5 + \binom{6}{6}(1)^6$

Calculating the binomial coefficients $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$:

$(x + 1)^6 = x^6 + 6x^5 + 15x^4 + 20x^3 + 15x^2 + 6x + 1$ [Equation 1]

Step 2: Applying the Binomial Theorem to the second term

For $(x - 1)^6$, note that the terms alternate in sign due to $(-1)^k$:

$(x - 1)^6 = \binom{6}{0}x^6 - \binom{6}{1}x^5(1) + \binom{6}{2}x^4(1)^2 - \binom{6}{3}x^3(1)^3 + \binom{6}{4}x^2(1)^4 - \binom{6}{5}x(1)^5 + \binom{6}{6}(1)^6$ $(x - 1)^6 = x^6 - 6x^5 + 15x^4 - 20x^3 + 15x^2 - 6x + 1$ [Equation 2]

Step 3: Simplifying the Summation

Adding [Equation 1] and [Equation 2]:

$(x + 1)^6 + (x - 1)^6 = (x^6 + 6x^5 + 15x^4 + 20x^3 + 15x^2 + 6x + 1) + (x^6 - 6x^5 + 15x^4 - 20x^3 + 15x^2 - 6x + 1)$

Observe that odd-powered terms ($x^5, x^3, x$) cancel out [By Algebraic Additive Inverse Property]:

$(x + 1)^6 + (x - 1)^6 = 2(x^6 + 15x^4 + 15x^2 + 1)$

Step 4: Evaluation for $x = \sqrt{2}$

Substitute $x = \sqrt{2}$ into the derived formula $2(x^6 + 15x^4 + 15x^2 + 1)$:

  • $x^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 = 2$
  • $x^4 = (x^2)^2 = 2^2 = 4$
  • $x^6 = (x^2)^3 = 2^3 = 8$

Substitute these values:

Value $= 2(8 + 15(4) + 15(2) + 1)$ Value $= 2(8 + 60 + 30 + 1)$ Value $= 2(99)$ Value $= 198$

Visual Representation of Coefficients

Binomial Pascal Row (n=6): 1, 6, 15, 20, 15, 6, 1 Summing terms cancels odd powers: Result = 2*(1x^6 + 15x^4 + 15x^2 + 1)

Final Solution: (x + 1)^6 + (x - 1)^6 = 2(x^6 + 15x^4 + 15x^2 + 1); Value = 198

Solution:

Given Variables & Initial Setup

We are required to expand the binomial expression $\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{x}{2}\right)^5$ using the Binomial Theorem. The standard form for the expansion of $(a + b)^n$ is given by:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$ [Per the Binomial Theorem]

In this specific problem:

  • $a = \frac{2}{x}$
  • $b = -\frac{x}{2}$
  • $n = 5$

Step 1: Applying the Binomial Expansion

Substituting the values into the expansion formula:

$\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{x}{2}\right)^5 = \binom{5}{0} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^5 + \binom{5}{1} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^4 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^1 + \binom{5}{2} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^3 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^2 + \binom{5}{3} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^2 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^3 + \binom{5}{4} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^1 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^4 + \binom{5}{5} \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^5$

Step 2: Calculating Binomial Coefficients and Powers

First, calculate the combinations $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$:

  • $\binom{5}{0} = 1$
  • $\binom{5}{1} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10$
  • $\binom{5}{3} = \binom{5}{2} = 10$ [By the property $\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}$]
  • $\binom{5}{4} = \binom{5}{1} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{5} = 1$

Step 3: Algebraic Simplification

Expand each term individually:

Term Expression Simplified
1st $1 \cdot \frac{32}{x^5}$ $\frac{32}{x^5}$
2nd $5 \cdot \frac{16}{x^4} \cdot (-\frac{x}{2})$ $-\frac{40}{x^3}$
3rd $10 \cdot \frac{8}{x^3} \cdot \frac{x^2}{4}$ $\frac{20}{x}$
4th $10 \cdot \frac{4}{x^2} \cdot (-\frac{x^3}{8})$ $-5x$
5th $5 \cdot \frac{2}{x} \cdot \frac{x^4}{16}$ $\frac{5x^3}{8}$
6th $1 \cdot (-\frac{x^5}{32})$ $-\frac{x^5}{32}$

Step 4: Final Summation

Combining all the simplified terms, we obtain:

$\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{x}{2}\right)^5 = \frac{32}{x^5} - \frac{40}{x^3} + \frac{20}{x} - 5x + \frac{5x^3}{8} - \frac{x^5}{32}$

Final Solution: \frac{32}{x^5} - \frac{40}{x^3} + \frac{20}{x} - 5x + \frac{5x^3}{8} - \frac{x^5}{32}

Solution:

Step 1: Expansion of the Binomial Expressions

To find the value of $(a + b)^4 - (a - b)^4$, we employ the Binomial Theorem, which states that $(x + y)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k$.

Expanding $(a + b)^4$:

$(a + b)^4 = \binom{4}{0}a^4b^0 + \binom{4}{1}a^3b^1 + \binom{4}{2}a^2b^2 + \binom{4}{3}a^1b^3 + \binom{4}{4}a^0b^4$ $(a + b)^4 = a^4 + 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 + 4ab^3 + b^4$ [By Binomial Coefficient Calculation]

Expanding $(a - b)^4$:

$(a - b)^4 = \binom{4}{0}a^4(-b)^0 + \binom{4}{1}a^3(-b)^1 + \binom{4}{2}a^2(-b)^2 + \binom{4}{3}a^1(-b)^3 + \binom{4}{4}a^0(-b)^4$ $(a - b)^4 = a^4 - 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 - 4ab^3 + b^4$ [Per the property of alternating signs in alternating binomial expansions]

Step 2: Performing the Subtraction

Subtracting the second expression from the first:

$(a + b)^4 - (a - b)^4 = (a^4 + 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 + 4ab^3 + b^4) - (a^4 - 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 - 4ab^3 + b^4)$

Distributing the negative sign and grouping like terms:

$= a^4 - a^4 + 4a^3b + 4a^3b + 6a^2b^2 - 6a^2b^2 + 4ab^3 + 4ab^3 + b^4 - b^4$ $= 8a^3b + 8ab^3$ $= 8ab(a^2 + b^2)$

Step 3: Substitution for Evaluation

Given the expression $(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})^4 - (\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})^4$, we identify the variables as:

$a = \sqrt{3}$ $b = \sqrt{2}$

Substituting into the derived identity $8ab(a^2 + b^2)$:

$= 8(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2})((\sqrt{3})^2 + (\sqrt{2})^2)$

Step 4: Algebraic Simplification

Computing the individual terms:

  • $a \cdot b = \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{6}$ [Property: $\sqrt{x}\sqrt{y} = \sqrt{xy}$]
  • $a^2 = (\sqrt{3})^2 = 3$
  • $b^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 = 2$

Final calculation:

$= 8(\sqrt{6})(3 + 2)$ $= 8(\sqrt{6})(5)$ $= 40\sqrt{6}$ Identity: (a+b)⁴ - (a-b)⁴ = 8ab(a²+b²) Substitution: a=√3, b=√2 Result: 8(√6)(3+2) = 40√6

Final Solution: (a + b)^4 – (a – b)^4 = 8ab(a^2 + b^2); therefore, (\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})^4 – (\sqrt{3} – \sqrt{2})^4 = 40\sqrt{6}

Solution:

Step 1: Application of the Multinomial Expansion Formula

To expand the expression $(1 + \frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})^{4}$, we treat the trinomial as a binomial by grouping terms: $[1 + (\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})]^{4}$.

Per the Binomial Theorem, for any positive integer $n$:

$(a+b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$

Setting $a = 1$, $b = (\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})$, and $n = 4$:

$(1 + \frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})^4 = \binom{4}{0}(1)^4 + \binom{4}{1}(1)^3(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x}) + \binom{4}{2}(1)^2(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})^2 + \binom{4}{3}(1)^1(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})^3 + \binom{4}{4}(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})^4$

Step 2: Evaluating the Coefficients and Sub-expansions

We calculate the binomial coefficients: $\binom{4}{0}=1, \binom{4}{1}=4, \binom{4}{2}=6, \binom{4}{3}=4, \binom{4}{4}=1$.

  • Term 1: $1 \cdot 1 = 1$
  • Term 2: $4(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x}) = 2x - \frac{8}{x}$
  • Term 3: $6(\frac{x^2}{4} - 2 \cdot \frac{x}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{x} + \frac{4}{x^2}) = 6(\frac{x^2}{4} - 2 + \frac{4}{x^2}) = \frac{3x^2}{2} - 12 + \frac{24}{x^2}$
  • Term 4: $4(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})^3 = 4[(\frac{x}{2})^3 - 3(\frac{x}{2})^2(\frac{2}{x}) + 3(\frac{x}{2})(\frac{2}{x})^2 - (\frac{2}{x})^3]$
    $= 4[\frac{x^3}{8} - \frac{3x}{2} + \frac{6}{x} - \frac{8}{x^3}] = \frac{x^3}{2} - 6x + \frac{24}{x} - \frac{32}{x^3}$
  • Term 5: $(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{2}{x})^4 = (\frac{x}{2})^4 - 4(\frac{x}{2})^3(\frac{2}{x}) + 6(\frac{x}{2})^2(\frac{2}{x})^2 - 4(\frac{x}{2})(\frac{2}{x})^3 + (\frac{2}{x})^4$
    $= \frac{x^4}{16} - 4(\frac{x^3}{8})(\frac{2}{x}) + 6(\frac{x^2}{4})(\frac{4}{x^2}) - 4(\frac{x}{2})(\frac{8}{x^3}) + \frac{16}{x^4} = \frac{x^4}{16} - x^2 + 6 - \frac{16}{x^2} + \frac{16}{x^4}$

Step 3: Summation and Algebraic Simplification

Summing all components calculated in Step 2:

Power of xSummation
$x^4$$\frac{x^4}{16}$
$x^3$$\frac{x^3}{2}$
$x^2$$\frac{3x^2}{2} - x^2 = \frac{x^2}{2}$
$x^1$$2x - 6x = -4x$
Constant$1 - 12 + 6 = -5$
$x^{-1}$$-\frac{8}{x} + \frac{24}{x} = \frac{16}{x}$
$x^{-2}$$\frac{24}{x^2} - \frac{16}{x^2} = \frac{8}{x^2}$
$x^{-3}$$-\frac{32}{x^3}$
$x^{-4}$$\frac{16}{x^4}$

Final Solution: \frac{x^4}{16} + \frac{x^3}{2} + \frac{x^2}{2} - 4x - 5 + \frac{16}{x} + \frac{8}{x^2} - \frac{32}{x^3} + \frac{16}{x^4}

Solution:

Given Variables & Initial Setup

To prove the identity $\sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} 3^r = 4^n$, we utilize the fundamental Binomial Theorem for any positive integer $n$.

The general form of the Binomial Theorem is expressed as:

$(x + a)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} x^{n-r} a^r$ [Per the Binomial Theorem]

Step 1: Setting up the Parameters

In the given expression $\sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} 3^r$, we compare the terms with the standard expansion of $(x + a)^n$.

  • Let $x = 1$
  • Let $a = 3$

Substituting these values into the standard expansion formula:

$(1 + 3)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} (1)^{n-r} (3)^r$

Step 2: Algebraic Simplification

Since $(1)^{n-r} = 1$ for any non-negative integer $r$ such that $r \leq n$, the expression simplifies significantly [By the definition of exponentiation]:

$(1 + 3)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} \cdot 1 \cdot 3^r$

$(1 + 3)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} 3^r$

Step 3: Evaluating the Final Summation

Perform the arithmetic inside the parentheses on the left-hand side of the equation:

$4^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} 3^r$

Or, expressed in the requested order:

$\sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} 3^r = 4^n$

Visual Representation of the Binomial Expansion ($n=2$)

Binomial Expansion Logic for (1+3)^2: Term r=0: 2C0 * 3^0 = 1 * 1 = 1 Term r=1: 2C1 * 3^1 = 2 * 3 = 6 Term r=2: 2C2 * 3^2 = 1 * 9 = 9 Sum = 1 + 6 + 9 = 16 = 4^2

Final Solution: The equality $\sum_{r=0}^{n} {^nC_r} 3^r = 4^n$ is verified as a direct application of the Binomial Theorem $(1+x)^n = \sum {^nC_r} x^r$ where $x=3$.

Solution:

Step 1: Establishing the Theoretical Framework

To prove that an expression $E(n) = 9^{n+1} - 8n - 9$ is divisible by $64$ for all positive integers $n$, we utilize the Binomial Theorem, which states:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k = \binom{n}{0}a^n + \binom{n}{1}a^{n-1}b + \binom{n}{2}a^{n-2}b^2 + \dots + \binom{n}{n}b^n$

[By Binomial Theorem expansion]

Step 2: Expressing the Base

We rewrite the base $9$ as $(1 + 8)$. Thus, the term $9^{n+1}$ can be expressed as:

$9^{n+1} = (1 + 8)^{n+1}$

Step 3: Binomial Expansion of $(1+8)^{n+1}$

Applying the theorem where $a=1$, $b=8$, and the exponent is $n+1$:

$(1 + 8)^{n+1} = \binom{n+1}{0}(1)^{n+1} + \binom{n+1}{1}(1)^{n}(8) + \binom{n+1}{2}(1)^{n-1}(8)^2 + \binom{n+1}{3}(8)^3 + \dots + \binom{n+1}{n+1}(8)^{n+1}$

[By Binomial Expansion Formula: $(x+y)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} y^k$]

Step 4: Algebraic Simplification

Evaluating the first two terms of the expansion:

  • $\binom{n+1}{0} = 1$
  • $\binom{n+1}{1} = n+1$

Substituting these values:

$9^{n+1} = 1 + (n+1)(8) + \binom{n+1}{2}(64) + \binom{n+1}{3}(8^3) + \dots + 8^{n+1}$

$9^{n+1} = 1 + 8n + 8 + 64 \left[ \binom{n+1}{2} + \binom{n+1}{3}(8) + \dots + 8^{n-1} \right]$

$9^{n+1} = 9 + 8n + 64 \times K$

where $K = \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{k} 8^{k-2}$ is an integer constant.

Step 5: Final Substraction and Proof of Divisibility

Now, substitute this back into the original expression $E(n)$:

$E(n) = 9^{n+1} - 8n - 9$

$E(n) = (9 + 8n + 64K) - 8n - 9$

[Associative and Commutative properties of addition]

$E(n) = 9 - 9 + 8n - 8n + 64K$

$E(n) = 64K$

Expression: 64K Result: Multiples of 64 imply divisibility by 64.

Since $E(n)$ is equal to $64$ times an integer $K$, $E(n)$ is by definition divisible by $64$.

Final Solution: Since $9^{n+1} - 8n - 9 = 64K$, the expression is divisible by 64 for all positive integers $n$.

Solution:

Step 1: Theoretical Foundation

To expand the binomial expression $(a + b)^n$, we employ the Binomial Theorem, which states: $(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$ [Per the Binomial Theorem for a positive integer index $n$].

Step 2: Defining Variables and Parameters

Given the expression $(1 - 2x)^5$, we identify the components:

  • $a = 1$
  • $b = -2x$
  • $n = 5$
The expansion will contain $n + 1 = 6$ terms.

Step 3: Calculating Binomial Coefficients

Using the formula $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$, we calculate the coefficients for $n=5$:

  • $\binom{5}{0} = 1$
  • $\binom{5}{1} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10$
  • $\binom{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 10$
  • $\binom{5}{4} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{5} = 1$
[By the property of Pascal's Triangle symmetry: $\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}$].

Step 4: Algebraic Expansion

Substituting the variables into the general expansion formula: $(1 - 2x)^5 = \binom{5}{0}(1)^5(-2x)^0 + \binom{5}{1}(1)^4(-2x)^1 + \binom{5}{2}(1)^3(-2x)^2 + \binom{5}{3}(1)^2(-2x)^3 + \binom{5}{4}(1)^1(-2x)^4 + \binom{5}{5}(1)^0(-2x)^5$

Step 5: Simplifying Individual Terms

  1. Term 1: $1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 1$
  2. Term 2: $5 \cdot 1 \cdot (-2x) = -10x$
  3. Term 3: $10 \cdot 1 \cdot (4x^2) = 40x^2$
  4. Term 4: $10 \cdot 1 \cdot (-8x^3) = -80x^3$
  5. Term 5: $5 \cdot 1 \cdot (16x^4) = 80x^4$
  6. Term 6: $1 \cdot 1 \cdot (-32x^5) = -32x^5$

Final Solution: (1 - 2x)^5 = 1 - 10x + 40x^2 - 80x^3 + 80x^4 - 32x^5

Solution:

Step 1: Expressing the Base as a Binomial Sum

To evaluate $(102)^5$ using the Binomial Theorem, we express the base $102$ as the sum of two terms: $100 + 2$. This allows the application of the binomial expansion formula: $(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$ [Per the Binomial Theorem for positive integers].

Here, $a = 100$, $b = 2$, and $n = 5$.

Step 2: Constructing the Expansion

Substituting the values into the binomial formula:

$(100 + 2)^5 = \binom{5}{0}(100)^5(2)^0 + \binom{5}{1}(100)^4(2)^1 + \binom{5}{2}(100)^3(2)^2 + \binom{5}{3}(100)^2(2)^3 + \binom{5}{4}(100)^1(2)^4 + \binom{5}{5}(100)^0(2)^5$

Step 3: Calculating Binomial Coefficients and Powers

We evaluate each term individually using the definition of combinations $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$:

Term Coefficient Power Calculation Result
$k=0$ $\binom{5}{0} = 1$ $1 \cdot 100^5 \cdot 1$ $10,000,000,000$
$k=1$ $\binom{5}{1} = 5$ $5 \cdot 100^4 \cdot 2$ $1,000,000,000$
$k=2$ $\binom{5}{2} = 10$ $10 \cdot 100^3 \cdot 4$ $40,000,000$
$k=3$ $\binom{5}{3} = 10$ $10 \cdot 100^2 \cdot 8$ $800,000$
$k=4$ $\binom{5}{4} = 5$ $5 \cdot 100^1 \cdot 16$ $8,000$
$k=5$ $\binom{5}{5} = 1$ $1 \cdot 1 \cdot 32$ $32$

Step 4: Summation of Terms

Sum the calculated values sequentially:

  • $10,000,000,000 + 1,000,000,000 = 11,000,000,000$
  • $11,000,000,000 + 40,000,000 = 11,040,000,000$
  • $11,040,000,000 + 800,000 = 11,040,800,000$
  • $11,040,800,000 + 8,000 = 11,040,808,000$
  • $11,040,808,000 + 32 = 11,040,808,032$
Binomial Expansion Representation (100 + 2)^5 Initial State: 100 Final State: 11,040,808,032

Final Solution: (102)^5 = 11,040,808,032

Solution:

Step 1: Theoretical Foundation

To expand an expression of the form $(a + b)^n$, we employ the Binomial Theorem, which states:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$

[Per the Binomial Theorem for a positive integer index $n$].

In the given expression $(1 - 2x)^5$, we identify the variables as follows:

  • $a = 1$
  • $b = -2x$
  • $n = 5$

Step 2: Substitution into the Binomial Formula

Applying the values to the summation formula:

$(1 - 2x)^5 = \binom{5}{0}(1)^5(-2x)^0 + \binom{5}{1}(1)^4(-2x)^1 + \binom{5}{2}(1)^3(-2x)^2 + \binom{5}{3}(1)^2(-2x)^3 + \binom{5}{4}(1)^1(-2x)^4 + \binom{5}{5}(1)^0(-2x)^5$

Step 3: Calculating Binomial Coefficients

Using the combination formula $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$:

Term ($k$)Coefficient $\binom{5}{k}$
$k=0$$\frac{5!}{0!5!} = 1$
$k=1$$\frac{5!}{1!4!} = 5$
$k=2$$\frac{5!}{2!3!} = 10$
$k=3$$\frac{5!}{3!2!} = 10$
$k=4$$\frac{5!}{4!1!} = 5$
$k=5$$\frac{5!}{5!0!} = 1$

Step 4: Algebraic Simplification

Substituting the coefficients and evaluating the powers:

  • Term 1: $1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 1$
  • Term 2: $5 \cdot 1 \cdot (-2x) = -10x$
  • Term 3: $10 \cdot 1 \cdot (4x^2) = 40x^2$
  • Term 4: $10 \cdot 1 \cdot (-8x^3) = -80x^3$
  • Term 5: $5 \cdot 1 \cdot (16x^4) = 80x^4$
  • Term 6: $1 \cdot 1 \cdot (-32x^5) = -32x^5$

Final Solution: $1 - 10x + 40x^2 - 80x^3 + 80x^4 - 32x^5$

Solution:

Step 1: Application of the Binomial Theorem

To evaluate $(102)^5$ using the Binomial Theorem, we express the base as a sum of two terms: $(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$.

Here, $a = 100$, $b = 2$, and $n = 5$. Thus:

$(100 + 2)^5 = \sum_{k=0}^{5} \binom{5}{k} (100)^{5-k} (2)^k$

[Per the Binomial Theorem for positive integer indices]

Step 2: Expansion of Terms

Expanding the summation into its individual components:

$(102)^5 = \binom{5}{0}(100)^5(2)^0 + \binom{5}{1}(100)^4(2)^1 + \binom{5}{2}(100)^3(2)^2 + \binom{5}{3}(100)^2(2)^3 + \binom{5}{4}(100)^1(2)^4 + \binom{5}{5}(100)^0(2)^5$

Step 3: Calculating Binomial Coefficients and Powers

Using the formula $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$, we determine the coefficients:

  • $\binom{5}{0} = 1$
  • $\binom{5}{1} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{2} = 10$
  • $\binom{5}{3} = 10$
  • $\binom{5}{4} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{5} = 1$

Given Variables & Initial Setup

To expand the expression $\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{x}{2}\right)^5$, we utilize the Binomial Theorem, which states that for any positive integer $n$:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$

In this expression:

  • $a = \frac{2}{x}$
  • $b = -\frac{x}{2}$
  • $n = 5$

Step 1: Applying the Binomial Expansion

Substituting the values into the binomial formula:

$\left(\frac{2}{x} - \frac{x}{2}\right)^5 = \binom{5}{0} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^5 + \binom{5}{1} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^4 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^1 + \binom{5}{2} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^3 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^2 + \binom{5}{3} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^2 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^3 + \binom{5}{4} \left(\frac{2}{x}\right)^1 \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^4 + \binom{5}{5} \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right)^5$

Step 2: Calculating Binomial Coefficients and Powers

We evaluate the binomial coefficients $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$ [By definition of combinations]:

Step 3: Algebraic Simplification

Substitute the coefficients and expand the powers:

  1. $1 \cdot \left(\frac{32}{x^5}\right) = \frac{32}{x^5}$
  2. $5 \cdot \left(\frac{16}{x^4}\right) \cdot \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right) = 5 \cdot \left(-\frac{8}{x^3}\right) = -\frac{40}{x^3}$
  3. $10 \cdot \left(\frac{8}{x^3}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{x^2}{4}\right) = 10 \cdot \left(\frac{2}{x}\right) = \frac{20}{x}$
  4. $10 \cdot \left(\frac{4}{x^2}\right) \cdot \left(-\frac{x^3}{8}\right) = 10 \cdot \left(-\frac{x}{2}\right) = -5x$
  5. $5 \cdot \left(\frac{2}{x}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{x^4}{16}\right) = 5 \cdot \left(\frac{x^3}{8}\right) = \frac{5x^3}{8}$
  6. $1 \cdot \left(-\frac{x^5}{32}\right) = -\frac{x^5}{32}$

Synthesis of Results

Combining all the simplified terms into a single expression:

Solution:

Given Variables & Initial Setup

We are required to compare the values of $x = (1.1)^{10000}$ and $y = 1000$ using the Binomial Theorem.

The Binomial Theorem states that for any positive integer $n$:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$

Setting $a = 1$, $b = 0.1$, and $n = 10000$, we expand $(1 + 0.1)^{10000}$:

Step 1: Applying the Binomial Expansion

$(1 + 0.1)^{10000} = \binom{10000}{0}(1)^{10000}(0.1)^0 + \binom{10000}{1}(1)^{9999}(0.1)^1 + \binom{10000}{2}(1)^{9998}(0.1)^2 + \dots$

[By the Binomial Theorem expansion protocol]

Step 2: Evaluating the Terms

We calculate the first few terms of the series:

  • Term 1 ($k=0$): $\binom{10000}{0} \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 1$
  • Term 2 ($k=1$): $\binom{10000}{1} \cdot 1 \cdot (0.1) = 10000 \cdot 0.1 = 1000$
  • Term 3 ($k=2$): $\binom{10000}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot (0.1)^2 = \frac{10000 \cdot 9999}{2} \cdot 0.01 = 49995000 \cdot 0.01 = 499950$

Step 3: Logical Comparison

The total value is the sum of all terms from $k=0$ to $k=10000$:

$(1.1)^{10000} = 1 + 1000 + 499950 + (\text{all subsequent positive terms})$

Summing the first three terms alone:

$1 + 1000 + 499950 = 500951$

Since $(1.1)^{10000} = 500951 + \text{positive terms}$, it is evident that:

$(1.1)^{10000} > 500951$

Step 4: Comparative Analysis with 1000

Given the target value $1000$, we observe:

$500951 > 1000$

[By the Transitive Property of Inequality, if $A > B$ and $B > C$, then $A > C$]

1000 (1.1)^{10000}

Final Solution: $(1.1)^{10000}$ is significantly larger than $1000$.

Solution:

Step 1: Decomposition of the Term

To evaluate $(101)^4$ using the Binomial Theorem, we express the base $101$ as the sum of two terms, $100$ and $1$, such that the calculation is simplified through powers of $10$.

Expression: $(101)^4 = (100 + 1)^4$

Step 2: Applying the Binomial Theorem

The Binomial Theorem states that for any positive integer $n$:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$ [Per the Binomial Theorem]

Here, $a = 100$, $b = 1$, and $n = 4$. Substituting these values:

$(100 + 1)^4 = \binom{4}{0}(100)^4(1)^0 + \binom{4}{1}(100)^3(1)^1 + \binom{4}{2}(100)^2(1)^2 + \binom{4}{3}(100)^1(1)^3 + \binom{4}{4}(100)^0(1)^4$

Step 3: Calculating Binomial Coefficients

We calculate the combinations using the formula $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$:

  • $\binom{4}{0} = 1$
  • $\binom{4}{1} = 4$
  • $\binom{4}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2 \times 1} = 6$
  • $\binom{4}{3} = 4$
  • $\binom{4}{4} = 1$

Step 4: Algebraic Expansion and Substitution

Substituting the coefficients and powers into the expansion:

$(100 + 1)^4 = 1(100,000,000) + 4(1,000,000) + 6(10,000) + 4(100) + 1(1)$
$(100 + 1)^4 = 100,000,000 + 4,000,000 + 60,000 + 400 + 1$

Solution:

Given Expression & Initial Setup

To find the expansion of $(3x^2 - 2ax + 3a^2)^3$, we utilize the Binomial Theorem, which states $(A + B)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} A^{n-k} B^k$. Since the expression is a trinomial, we group it into a binomial form: $[(3x^2 + 3a^2) - 2ax]^3$.

Step 1: Application of the Binomial Identity

Let $A = (3x^2 + 3a^2)$ and $B = -2ax$. Per the Binomial Theorem for $n=3$:

$(A + B)^3 = 1 \cdot A^3 + 3 \cdot A^2 \cdot B + 3 \cdot A \cdot B^2 + 1 \cdot B^3$

Step 2: Substitution and Expansion of Terms

Substituting $A = 3(x^2 + a^2)$ and $B = -2ax$:

  1. Term 1 ($A^3$): $[3(x^2 + a^2)]^3 = 27(x^2 + a^2)^3$
  2. Using $(x^2+a^2)^3 = (x^2)^3 + 3(x^2)^2(a^2) + 3(x^2)(a^2)^2 + (a^2)^3 = x^6 + 3x^4a^2 + 3x^2a^4 + a^6$.

    Result: $27x^6 + 81x^4a^2 + 81x^2a^4 + 27a^6$.

  3. Term 2 ($3A^2B$): $3[3(x^2+a^2)]^2 \cdot (-2ax) = 3[9(x^4 + 2x^2a^2 + a^4)] \cdot (-2ax)$
  4. $= 27(x^4 + 2x^2a^2 + a^4) \cdot (-2ax) = -54ax^5 - 108a^3x^3 - 54a^5x$.

  5. Term 3 ($3AB^2$): $3[3(x^2+a^2)] \cdot (-2ax)^2 = 9(x^2+a^2) \cdot (4a^2x^2)$
  6. $= 36a^2x^2(x^2+a^2) = 36x^4a^2 + 36x^2a^4$.

  7. Term 4 ($B^3$): $(-2ax)^3 = -8a^3x^3$.

Step 3: Aggregation and Algebraic Simplification

Summing the calculated terms:

$3AB^2$$36x^4a^2 + 36x^2a^4$

Combining like terms by degree:

  • $x^6$ term: $27x^6$

  • $x^1$ term: $-54xa^5$

Expansion: 27x⁶ - 54ax⁵ + 117a²x⁴ - 116a³x³ + 117a⁴x² - 54a⁵x + 27a⁶

Final Solution: $27x^6 - 54ax^5 + 117a^2x^4 - 116a^3x^3 + 117a^4x^2 - 54a^5x + 27a^6$

Solution:

Step 1: Application of Binomial Theorem

To evaluate $(99)^5$, we express the base as a binomial sum or difference to facilitate calculation using the Binomial Theorem. The expression $(99)^5$ is equivalent to $(100 - 1)^5$.

The Binomial Theorem states that for any positive integer $n$:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$

Here, $a = 100$, $b = -1$, and $n = 5$. [By the Binomial Theorem expansion rule]

Step 2: Expansion of the Expression

Expanding $(100 - 1)^5$ yields the following terms:

$(100 - 1)^5 = \binom{5}{0}(100)^5(-1)^0 + \binom{5}{1}(100)^4(-1)^1 + \binom{5}{2}(100)^3(-1)^2 + \binom{5}{3}(100)^2(-1)^3 + \binom{5}{4}(100)^1(-1)^4 + \binom{5}{5}(100)^0(-1)^5$

Step 3: Evaluation of Combinations and Powers

Calculating each coefficient and power individually:

  • $\binom{5}{0} = 1$; $(100)^5 = 10,000,000,000$; $(-1)^0 = 1$ $\implies 1 \times 10,000,000,000 \times 1 = 10,000,000,000$
  • $\binom{5}{1} = 5$; $(100)^4 = 100,000,000$; $(-1)^1 = -1$ $\implies 5 \times 100,000,000 \times -1 = -500,000,000$
  • $\binom{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10$; $(100)^3 = 1,000,000$; $(-1)^2 = 1$ $\implies 10 \times 1,000,000 \times 1 = 10,000,000$
  • $\binom{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 10$; $(100)^2 = 10,000$; $(-1)^3 = -1$ $\implies 10 \times 10,000 \times -1 = -100,000$
  • $\binom{5}{4} = 5$; $(100)^1 = 100$; $(-1)^4 = 1$ $\implies 5 \times 100 \times 1 = 500$
  • $\binom{5}{5} = 1$; $(100)^0 = 1$; $(-1)^5 = -1$ $\implies 1 \times 1 \times -1 = -1$

Step 4: Summation of Terms

The final value is determined by the algebraic sum of the terms calculated in Step 3:

Sum $= 10,000,000,000 - 500,000,000 + 10,000,000 - 100,000 + 500 - 1$

Visual Representation of Numerical Scale

0 10^10 Result: 9,509,900,499

Final Solution: (99)^5 = 9,509,900,499

Solution:

Step 1: Establishing the Expression using Binomial Expansion

To prove that $9^{n+1} - 8n - 9$ is divisible by $64$, we must express $9^{n+1}$ in a form conducive to the Binomial Theorem. We rewrite $9$ as $(1 + 8)$.

According to the Binomial Theorem, for any positive integer $m$:

$(a + b)^m = \sum_{k=0}^{m} \binom{m}{k} a^{m-k} b^k$

Setting $a=1$, $b=8$, and $m=n+1$, we obtain:

$9^{n+1} = (1 + 8)^{n+1} = \binom{n+1}{0}(1)^{n+1} + \binom{n+1}{1}(1)^n(8)^1 + \binom{n+1}{2}(1)^{n-1}(8)^2 + \binom{n+1}{3}(8)^3 + \dots + \binom{n+1}{n+1}(8)^{n+1}$

[By Binomial Theorem expansion]

Step 2: Simplifying the Expansion Terms

We evaluate the first few terms of the expansion:

  • Term 0: $\binom{n+1}{0} = 1$
  • Term 1: $\binom{n+1}{1} \cdot 8 = (n+1) \cdot 8 = 8n + 8$
  • Term 2 and beyond: $\sum_{k=2}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{k} 8^k$

Substituting these back into the expansion:

$9^{n+1} = 1 + (8n + 8) + \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{k} 8^k$ $9^{n+1} = 9 + 8n + \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{k} 8^k$

Step 3: Algebraic Rearrangement and Divisibility Analysis

We now isolate the expression given in the problem statement by subtracting $(8n + 9)$ from both sides:

$9^{n+1} - 8n - 9 = \sum_{k=2}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{k} 8^k$

Focusing on the right-hand side summation, we extract the factor $8^2 = 64$:

$\sum_{k=2}^{n+1} \binom{n+1}{k} 8^k = 64 \left[ \binom{n+1}{2} + \binom{n+1}{3} \cdot 8 + \dots + \binom{n+1}{n+1} 8^{n-1} \right]$

[By distributive property of multiplication]

Step 4: Logical Conclusion

Since the summation $\left[ \binom{n+1}{2} + \binom{n+1}{3} \cdot 8 + \dots + \binom{n+1}{n+1} 8^{n-1} \right]$ results in an integer value (as binomial coefficients and powers of integers are integers), let this sum be represented by the integer $I$.

Thus, $9^{n+1} - 8n - 9 = 64I$.

Because the expression is equal to $64$ multiplied by an integer $I$, it follows by the definition of divisibility that the expression is divisible by $64$.

9^(n+1) - 8n - 9 = 64 × I Conclusion: Divisible by 64

Final Solution: Since the expansion results in $64 \times I$ where $I \in \mathbb{Z}$, the expression $(9^{n+1} – 8n – 9)$ is proven to be divisible by 64 for all positive integers $n$.

Solution:

Step 1: Decomposition of the Base

To evaluate $(99)^5$ using the Binomial Theorem, we first express the base $99$ as a difference of two numbers such that the binomial expansion is simplified. We define $99 = (100 - 1)$.

The Binomial Theorem states: $(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$

Setting $a = 100$, $b = -1$, and $n = 5$, we get:

$(100 - 1)^5 = \sum_{k=0}^{5} \binom{5}{k} (100)^{5-k} (-1)^k$ [By Binomial Theorem Expansion]

Step 2: Expansion of Terms

We expand the summation for $k = 0$ to $5$:

Term ($k$)CalculationResult
$k=0$$\binom{5}{0} (100)^5 (-1)^0$$1 \times 10,000,000,000 \times 1 = 10,000,000,000$
$k=1$$\binom{5}{1} (100)^4 (-1)^1$$5 \times 100,000,000 \times (-1) = -500,000,000$
$k=2$$\binom{5}{2} (100)^3 (-1)^2$$10 \times 1,000,000 \times 1 = 10,000,000$
$k=3$$\binom{5}{3} (100)^2 (-1)^3$$10 \times 10,000 \times (-1) = -100,000$
$k=4$$\binom{5}{4} (100)^1 (-1)^4$$5 \times 100 \times 1 = 500$
$k=5$$\binom{5}{5} (100)^0 (-1)^5$$1 \times 1 \times (-1) = -1$

Step 3: Algebraic Summation

Summing the calculated terms:

$S = 10,000,000,000 - 500,000,000 + 10,000,000 - 100,000 + 500 - 1$

Grouping positive and negative terms:

Positive terms: $10,000,000,000 + 10,000,000 + 500 = 10,010,000,500$

Negative terms: $-500,000,000 - 100,000 - 1 = -500,100,001$

$S = 10,010,000,500 - 500,100,001$

Step 4: Final Arithmetic Computation

$10,010,000,500 - 500,100,001 = 9,509,900,499$

$(100-1)^5 = 99^5 = 9,509,900,499$

Final Solution: 9,509,900,499

Solution:

Step 1: Decomposition of the Term

To evaluate $(101)^4$ using the Binomial Theorem, we express the base $101$ as a sum of two terms, $100$ and $1$, such that the calculation is simplified through powers of $10$.

Let $x = 100$ and $a = 1$. Then the expression becomes:

$(101)^4 = (100 + 1)^4$

Step 2: Theoretical Application of the Binomial Theorem

Per the Binomial Theorem, the expansion of $(x + a)^n$ is defined as:

$(x + a)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} x^{n-k} a^k$

Where $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$ [By definition of Binomial Coefficients].

Setting $n = 4$, $x = 100$, and $a = 1$, the expansion is:

$(100 + 1)^4 = \binom{4}{0}(100)^4(1)^0 + \binom{4}{1}(100)^3(1)^1 + \binom{4}{2}(100)^2(1)^2 + \binom{4}{3}(100)^1(1)^3 + \binom{4}{4}(100)^0(1)^4$

Step 3: Calculation of Binomial Coefficients

We calculate the coefficients $\binom{n}{k}$ for $n=4$:

  • $\binom{4}{0} = 1$
  • $\binom{4}{1} = 4$
  • $\binom{4}{2} = \frac{4 \times 3}{2 \times 1} = 6$
  • $\binom{4}{3} = 4$
  • $\binom{4}{4} = 1$

Step 4: Substitution and Arithmetic Evaluation

Substituting the coefficients and powers into the expansion:

$(101)^4 = 1(100,000,000) + 4(1,000,000) + 6(10,000) + 4(100) + 1(1)$

Performing the multiplication:

$(101)^4 = 100,000,000 + 4,000,000 + 60,000 + 400 + 1

Step 5: Final Summation

Adding the components:

$100,000,000$
$4,000,000$
$60,000$
$400$
$1$
$104,060,401$
Expansion logic: (100+1)^4 10^8 + 4*10^6 + 6*10^4 + 4*10^2 + 1 = 104,060,401

Final Solution: $(101)^4 = 104,060,401$

Solution:

Step 1: Theoretical Foundation of the Binomial Theorem

To evaluate the summation $\sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} 3^{r}$, we reference the Binomial Theorem, which states that for any positive integer $n$ and any real numbers $a$ and $b$:
$(a + b)^{n} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} a^{n-r} b^{r}$
[Per the Binomial Theorem definition for non-negative integral exponents].

Step 2: Substitution of Variables

To match the structure of the given expression $\sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} 3^{r}$, we perform the following variable assignments within the general expansion:

  • Let $b = 3$
  • Let $a = 1$
Substituting these values into the binomial expansion formula yields:
$(1 + 3)^{n} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} (1)^{n-r} (3)^{r}$

Step 3: Algebraic Simplification

Given that $(1)^{n-r} = 1$ for all non-negative integers $n$ and $r$ where $n \geq r$ [By the property of unity in exponentiation]:
$(1 + 3)^{n} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} (1) (3)^{r}$
$(4)^{n} = \sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} 3^{r}$

Visual Representation of the Binomial Expansion

Binomial Expansion: (1 + 3)^n Σ (nCr * 1^(n-r) * 3^r) Result: 4^n

Step 4: Logical Conclusion

The LHS (Left Hand Side) of the expansion simplifies directly to the sum of the coefficients multiplied by the powers of the variable $3$, resulting in the power of the binomial sum $(1+3)$. Thus, we have verified that:
$\sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} 3^{r} = 4^{n}$

Final Solution: The identity $\sum_{r=0}^{n} {}^{n}C_{r} 3^{r} = 4^{n}$ is proven.

Solution:

Step 1: Theoretical Foundation

To expand the expression $\left(\frac{x}{3} + \frac{1}{x}\right)^{5}$, we utilize the Binomial Theorem, which states that for any non-negative integer $n$:

$(a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k$

Where $\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$.

In this problem, we identify the following variables: $a = \frac{x}{3}$, $b = \frac{1}{x}$, and $n = 5$.

Step 2: Identifying the Binomial Coefficients

Using Pascal’s triangle or the combination formula for $n=5$, the coefficients are:

  • $\binom{5}{0} = 1$
  • $\binom{5}{1} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{2} = 10$
  • $\binom{5}{3} = 10$
  • $\binom{5}{4} = 5$
  • $\binom{5}{5} = 1$

Step 3: Substitution and Expansion

Substituting the values into the binomial expansion formula:

$\left(\frac{x}{3} + \frac{1}{x}\right)^{5} = \binom{5}{0} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^5 + \binom{5}{1} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^4 \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^1 + \binom{5}{2} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^3 \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^2 + \binom{5}{3} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^2 \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^3 + \binom{5}{4} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^1 \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^4 + \binom{5}{5} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^5$

Step 4: Algebraic Simplification

Executing the power operations for each term [By Law of Exponents $(ab)^n = a^n b^n$]:

Term Expansion Result
1st $1 \cdot \frac{x^5}{243}$ $\frac{x^5}{243}$
2nd $5 \cdot \frac{x^4}{81} \cdot \frac{1}{x}$ $\frac{5x^3}{81}$
3rd $10 \cdot \frac{x^3}{27} \cdot \frac{1}{x^2}$ $\frac{10x}{27}$
4th $10 \cdot \frac{x^2}{9} \cdot \frac{1}{x^3}$ $\frac{10}{9x}$
5th $5 \cdot \frac{x}{3} \cdot \frac{1}{x^4}$ $\frac{5}{3x^3}$
6th $1 \cdot \frac{1}{x^5}$ $\frac{1}{x^5}$

Step 5: Visualizing the Binomial Distribution

n=0 n=1 n=2 n=3 n=4 n=5 Coeff: 1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1

Final Consolidation

Combining all simplified terms yields the final expansion:

Final Solution: $\frac{x^5}{243} + \frac{5x^3}{81} + \frac{10x}{27} + \frac{10}{9x} + \frac{5}{3x^3} + \frac{1}{x^5}$
