The binomial theorem |
2010-01-21 |
|
From Laura:
Using the fact that (1 + x)^4 * (1 + x)^9 = (1 + x)^13 show (4C0 * 9C4 + 4C1*9C3 + 4C2*9C2 + 4C3*9C1 + 4C4*9C0) = 13C4

2006-06-18 |
|
From April:
What are the 3rd and 4th terms of this sequence: (2x-y)7?
I'm having an issue with this...is there any easier way to get it without completely factoring the whoooole thing out?

Newton's binomial theorem |
2003-08-30 |
|
From William:
According to page 126 of Murtha & Willard's "Statistics and Calculus" (Prentice-Hall, 1973), Newton's binomial theorem can proved inductively. I suppose that was his method, which I would like to see.

The Binomial Theorem for rational exponents |
1999-04-15 |
|
From Angela Evans:
The full question is this: Isaac Newton generalized the Binomial Theorem to rational exponents. That is, he derived series of expansions for such expressions as (x+y)-3 (x+y)2/3 (x+y)5/6 What did Newton find? What are the first four terms of the series expansions of binomials above? How can this extended Binomial Thrm. be used to aid in calculations?
