Some Important Points

Category : JEE Main & Advanced

    (1) Pascal's Triangle  

 

 

          1             \[{{(x+y)}^{0}}\]
        1   1           \[{{(x+y)}^{1}}\]
      1   2   1         \[{{(x+y)}^{2}}\]
    1   3   3   1       \[{{(x+y)}^{3}}\]
  1   4   6   4   1     \[{{(x+y)}^{4}}\]
1   5   10   10   5   1   \[{{(x+y)}^{5}}\]

 

Pascal's  triangle gives the direct binomial coefficients.

 

Example : \[{{(x+y)}^{4}}={{x}^{4}}+4{{x}^{3}}y+6{{x}^{2}}{{y}^{2}}+4x{{y}^{3}}+{{y}^{4}}\].

 

(2) Method for finding terms free from radicals or rational terms in the expansion of \[{{({{a}^{1/p}}+{{b}^{1/q}})}^{N}}a,\,b\,\in \]prime numbers: Find the general term \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{N}}{{C}_{r}}{{({{a}^{1/p}})}^{N-r}}{{({{b}^{1/q}})}^{r}}{{=}^{N}}{{C}_{r}}\,{{a}^{\frac{N-r}{p}}}.{{b}^{\frac{r}{q}}}\]

 

Putting the values of \[0\le r\le N\], when indices of \[a\] and \[b\] are integers.

 

  • Number of irrational terms = Total terms – Number of rational terms.
