= (1 + 2x)5 – 5(1 + 2x)4 (3x2) + 10 (1 + 2x)3 (9x4) – 10 (1 + 2x)2 (27x6) + 5 (1 + 2x) (81x8) – 243x10

= 2 [6 (93) (2) + 20 (33) (22) + 6 (3) (42)]

= 2 [6 (54 + 120 + 24)]

= 396 6

RD Sharma Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 18 – Binomial Theorem image - 20

= 2 [a8 + 6a6 – 6a4 + a4 + 1 – 2a2]

= 2a8 + 12a6 – 10a4 – 4a2 + 2

3. Find (a + b) 4 – (a – b) 4. Hence, evaluate (√3 + √2)4 – (√3 – √2)4.

Solution:

Firstly, let us solve the given expression

(a + b) 4 – (a – b) 4

The above expression can be expressed as,

(a + b) 4 – (a – b) 4 = 2 [4C1 a3b1 + 4C3 a1b3]

= 2 [4a3b + 4ab3]

= 8 (a3b + ab3)

Now,

Let us evaluate the expression

(√3 + √2)4 – (√3 -√2)4

So consider, a = √3 and b = √2 we get,

(√3 + √2)4 – (√3 -√2)4 = 8 (a3b + ab3)

= 8 [(√3)3 (√2) + (√3) (√2)3]

= 8 [(3√6) + (2√6)]

= 8 (5√6)

= 40√6

4. Find (x + 1) 6 + (x – 1) 6. Hence, or otherwise, evaluate (√2 + 1)6 + (√2 – 1)6.

Solution:

Firstly, let us solve the given expression

(x + 1) 6 + (x – 1) 6

The above expression can be expressed as,

(x + 1) 6 + (x – 1) 6 = 2 [6C0 x6 + 6C2 x4 + 6C4 x2 + 6C6 x0]

= 2 [x6 + 15x4 + 15x2 + 1]

Now,

Let us evaluate the expression

(√2 + 1)6 + (√2 – 1)6

So consider x = √2 then, we get,

(√2 + 1)6 + (√2 – 1)6 = 2 [x6 + 15x4 + 15x2 + 1]

= 2 [(√2)6 + 15 (√2)4 + 15 (√2)2 + 1]

= 2 [8 + 15 (4) + 15 (2) + 1]

= 2 [8 + 60 + 30 + 1]

= 198

5. Using the binomial theorem, evaluate each of the following:

(i) (96)3

(ii) (102)5

(iii) (101)4

(iv) (98)5

Solution:

(i) (96)3

We have,

(96)3

Let us express the given expression as two different entities and apply the binomial theorem.

(96)3 = (100 – 4)3

3C0 (100)3 (4)0 – 3C1 (100)2 (4)1 + 3C2 (100)1 (4)2 – 3C3 (100)0 (4)3

= 1000000 – 120000 + 4800 – 64

= 884736

(ii) (102)5

We have,

(102)5

Let us express the given expression as two different entities and apply the binomial theorem.

(102)5 = (100 + 2)5

5C0 (100)5 (2)0 + 5C1 (100)4 (2)1 + 5C2 (100)3 (2)2 + 5C3 (100)2 (2)3 + 5C4 (100)1 (2)4 + 5C5 (100)0 (2)5

= 10000000000 + 1000000000 + 40000000 + 800000 + 8000 + 32

= 11040808032

(iii) (101)4

We have,

(101)4

Let us express the given expression as two different entities and apply the binomial theorem.

(101)4 = (100 + 1)4

4C0 (100)4 + 4C1 (100)3 + 4C2 (100)2 + 4C3 (100)1 + 4C4 (100)0

= 100000000 + 4000000 + 60000 + 400 + 1

= 104060401

(iv) (98)5

We have,

(98)5

Let us express the given expression as two different entities and apply the binomial theorem.

(98)5 = (100 – 2)5

5C0 (100)5 (2)0 – 5C1 (100)4 (2)1 + 5C2 (100)3 (2)2 – 5C3 (100)2 (2)3 + 5C4 (100)1 (2)4 – 5C5 (100)0 (2)5

= 10000000000 – 1000000000 + 40000000 – 800000 + 8000 – 32

= 9039207968

6. Using binomial theorem, prove that 23n – 7n – 1 is divisible by 49, where n ∈ N.

Solution:

Given:

23n – 7n – 1

So, 23n – 7n – 1 = 8n – 7n – 1

Now,

8n – 7n – 1

8n = 7n + 1

= (1 + 7) n

nC0 + nC1 (7)1 + nC2 (7)2 + nC3 (7)3 + nC4 (7)2 + nC5 (7)1 + … + nCn (7) n

8n = 1 + 7n + 49 [nC2 + nC3 (71) + nC(72) + … + nCn (7) n-2]

8n – 1 – 7n = 49 (integer)

So now,

8n – 1 – 7n is divisible by 49

Or

23n – 1 – 7n is divisible by 49.

Hence proved.

EXERCISE 18.2 PAGE NO: 18.37

1. Find the 11th term from the beginning and the 11th term from the end in the expansion of (2x – 1/x2)25.

Solution:

Given:

(2x – 1/x2)25

The given expression contains 26 terms.

So, the 11th term from the end is the (26 − 11 + 1) th term from the beginning.

In other words, the 11th term from the end is the 16th term from the beginning.

Then,

T16 = T15+1 = 25C15 (2x)25-15 (-1/x2)15

25C15 (210) (x)10 (-1/x30)

= – 25C15 (210 / x20)

Now, we shall find the 11th term from the beginning.

T11 = T10+1 = 25C10 (2x)25-10 (-1/x2)10

25C10 (215) (x)15 (1/x20)

25C10 (215 / x5)

2. Find the 7th term in the expansion of (3x2 – 1/x3)10.

Solution:

Given:

(3x2 – 1/x3)10

Let us consider the 7th term as T7

So,

T7 = T6+1

10C6 (3x2)10-6 (-1/x3)6

10C6 (3)4 (x)8 (1/x18)

= [10×9×8×7×81] / [4×3×2×x10]

= 17010 / x10

∴ The 7th term of the expression (3x2 – 1/x3)10 is 17010 / x10.

3. Find the 5th term in the expansion of (3x – 1/x2)10.

Solution:

Given:

(3x – 1/x2)10

The 5th term from the end is the (11 – 5 + 1)th, is., 7th term from the beginning.

So,

T7 = T6+1

10C6 (3x)10-6 (-1/x2)6

10C6 (3)4 (x)4 (1/x12)

= [10×9×8×7×81] / [4×3×2×x8]

= 17010 / x8

∴ The 5th term of the expression (3x – 1/x2)10 is 17010 / x8.

4. Find the 8th term in the expansion of (x3/2 y1/2 – x1/2 y3/2)10.

Solution:

Given:

(x3/2 y1/2 – x1/2 y3/2)10

Let us consider the 8th term as T8

So,

T8 = T7+1

10C7 (x3/2 y1/2)10-7 (-x1/2 y3/2)7

= -[10×9×8]/[3×2] x9/2 y3/2 (x7/2 y21/2)

= -120 x8y12

∴ The 8th term of the expression (x3/2 y1/2 – x1/2 y3/2)10 is -120 x8y12.

5. Find the 7th term in the expansion of (4x/5 + 5/2x) 8.

Solution:

Given:

(4x/5 + 5/2x) 8

Let us consider the 7th term as T7

So,

T7 = T6+1

RD Sharma Solutions for Class 11 Maths Chapter 18 – Binomial Theorem image - 21

∴ The 7th term of the expression (4x/5 + 5/2x) 8 is 4375/x4.

6. Find the 4th term from the beginning and 4th term from the end in the expansion of (x + 2/x) 9.

Solution:

Given:

(x + 2/x) 9

Let Tr+1 be the 4th term from the end.

Then, Tr+1 is (10 − 4 + 1)th, i.e., 7th, the term from the beginning.
