Example Questions

Example Question #1 : Using The Binomial Theorem For Expansion: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Apr.C.5

What is the coefficient of  in the expansion of ?

Possible Answers:

There is no coefficient

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to recall the formula for Pascal's Triangle.

The part in the expression that we care about is the combination.

We simply do this by looking at the exponent of , and the exponent of the original equation.

In this case  and 

Now we compute the following

Example Question #4 : Using The Binomial Theorem For Expansion: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Apr.C.5

Use Pascal's Triangle to Expand 

 

Possible Answers:

Not Possible

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to recall the formula for Pascal's Triangle.

Since the exponent in the question is 14 we can replace , with 14 .

Now our equation looks like

Now we compute the sum, term by term.

Term 1 : 

Term 2 : 

Term 3 : 

Term 4 : 

Term 5 : 

Term 6 : 

Term 7 :

Term 8 : 

Term 9 :

Term 10 : 

Term 11 : 

Term 12 : 

Term 13 : 

Term 14 : 

Term 15 : 

Now we combine the expressions and we get

Possible Answers:

Not Possible

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to recall the formula for Pascal's Triangle.

Since the exponent in the question is 2 we can replace , with 2 .

Now our equation looks like

Now we compute the sum, term by term.

Term 1 : 

Term 2 :

Term 3 : 

Now we combine the expressions and we get

In this case  and 

Now we compute the following

Example Question #1 : Different Forms Of Simple Rational Expressions: Ccss.Math.Content.Hsa Apr.D.6

Write the following polynomial quotient in the form 

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we need to perform synthetic division.

We set up synthetic division by writing down the zero of the expression we are dividing by, and the coefficients of the polynomial on a line.

 

The first step is to bring the coefficient of the  term down.

Now we multiply the zero by the term we just put down, and place it under the  term coefficient.

Now we add the column up to get

Now we multiply the number we got by the zero, and place it under the  term.

Now we add the column up to get

Now we multiply the number we got by the zero, and place it under the constant term.

Now we add the column up to get

Now we need to write it out in the form of 

 is the quotient, which is the first  numbers from the synthetic division.

 is the remainder, which is the last number in the synthetic division.

 is the divisor, which is what we originally divided by.

Now we put this all together to get.
