The binomial theorem describes how to expand expressions of the form (a + b)ⁿ. It uses Pascal's triangle coefficients and is fundamental to algebra, probability, and combinatorics.

ସୂତ୍ର

(a + b)ⁿ = Σₖ₌₀ⁿ C(n,k) aⁿ⁻ᵏ bᵏ where C(n,k) = n!/(k!(n−k)!)
n
exponent — non-negative integer
a, b
terms being expanded
C(n,k)
binomial coefficient — "n choose k"

What is Pascal's triangle and how does it relate to binomial expansion?

Pascal's triangle lists the binomial coefficients. Each row n gives the coefficients for (a+b)ⁿ.

Can binomial expansion be used for negative exponents?

Yes, the binomial series extends to any real exponent, but for negative/fractional exponents it's an infinite series.

What is the multinomial theorem?

A generalization of binomial expansion to three or more terms: (a+b+c)ⁿ.
