Binomial Expansion: Negative & Fractional

The document discusses binomial expansion when the exponent is a negative integer or fraction. It states that when the exponent is negative or fractional, the binomial expansion results in an infinite series rather than a finite series. It provides examples of expanding binomial expressions until the first few terms when the exponent is negative or involves fractions. It also includes practice problems asking students to perform similar expansions.

BINOMIAL EXPANSION WITH A NEGATIVE INTEGER OR FRACTION

Previously in the course we found that, when n is a positive whole number,

a  bn  a n  n C1 a n1 b 1  n C2 a n2 b 2  n C3 a n3 b 3  .......... .....  b n

This is a finite series with n + 1 terms.

If n is negative or fractional then, this expansion will be infinite series.

a  bn  a n  n a n1 b 1  n n  1 a n2 b 2  n n  1 n  2 a n3 b 3  .......... .....


2! 3!

In mathematics, the factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of


all positive integers less than or equal to n . For example,

 5 
Example : Expand 1  3  2
until the first four terms
 x 

Let 𝑎 , ,𝑛 − and substitute.
