TOPIC 01

Binomial theorem

Use the general term to locate coefficients, constants and coefficient sums.

What you will be able to explain

  • Use the general term to locate coefficients, constants and coefficient sums.
  • Justify the method and check the conditions in a new situation.

Try it. Leave your reasoning visible.

Use one hint at a time. A correction explains what changed, not just the final answer.

01 / Foundation#Your turn

Find the sum of all coefficients of (2+x)^m.

m=11m=11
  • The exponent n is a nonnegative integer; term number is r+1, not r.
Skills and prerequisite lessons

Working and explanation

BUILD THE REASONING

Hint 1
Decide whether choices are alternative cases or successive stages, then check overlap.
Hint 2
Substitute x=1.
Worked solution
  1. Decide whether choices are alternative cases or successive stages, then check overlap.

  2. Apply the stated relation and retain its conditions.

    (2+1)11=177147(2+1)^{11}=177147
  3. Use x=1 for the full coefficient sum, not 2^m unless both base coefficients equal one.

The requested value is 177147.

Checks and common pitfalls: Use x=1 for the full coefficient sum, not 2^m unless both base coefficients equal one.

Think first. Reveal a hint when the class is ready.

Teacher preparation and assessment

Question sequence

  • Use the general term to locate coefficients, constants and coefficient sums.
  • Which condition is essential in binomial theorem?
  • Does a negative second term change all coefficients to negative?

Board plan

  • Defining relation: Use the general term to locate coefficients, constants and coefficient sums.
    (a+b)n=∑r=0nCnran−rbr(a+b)^n=\sum_{r=0}^nC_n^ra^{n-r}b^r
  • Conditions: The exponent n is a nonnegative integer; term number is r+1, not r.

Anticipated thinking

  • A binomial coefficient and the full coefficient of a term may differ.

Assessment checklist
