Question 10: Using Binomial Theorem, indicate which number is larger (1.1)¹⁰⁰⁰⁰ or 1000.

Answer:

AS we can write 1.1 as 1 + 0.1,

$(1.1)^{10000}=(1+0.1)^{10000}$

$=^{10000}C_0+^{10000}C_1(1.1)+Other \:positive\:terms$

$=1+10000\times1.1+ \:Other\:positive\:term$

$>1000$

Hence,

$(1.1)^{10000}>1000$

Question 11 :Find $(a + b)^4 - (a-b)^4$ . Hence, evaluate$(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt2)^4 - (\sqrt3-\sqrt2)^4$ .

Answer:

Using Binomial Theorem, the expressions $(a+b)^4$ and $(a-b)^4$ can be expressed as

$(a+b)^4=^4C_0a^4+^4C_1a^3b+^4C_2a^2b^2+^4C_3ab^3+^4C_4b^4$

$(a-b)^4=^4C_0a^4-^4C_1a^3b+^4C_2a^2b^2-^4C_3ab^3+^4C_4b^4$

From Here,

$(a+b)^4-(a-b)^4 = ^4C_0a^4+^4C_1a^3b+^4C_2a^2b^2+^4C_3ab^3+^4C_4b^4$$-^4C_0a^4+^4C_1a^3b-^4C_2a^2b^2+^4C_3ab^3-^4C_4b^4$

$(a+b)^4-(a-b)^4 = 2\times( ^4C_1a^3b+^4C_3ab^3)$

$(a+b)^4-(a-b)^4 = 8ab(a^2+b^2)$

Now, Using this, we get

$(\sqrt{3} + \sqrt2)^4 - (\sqrt3-\sqrt2)^4=8(\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{2})(3+2)=8\times\sqrt{6}\times5=40\sqrt{6}$

Question 12 :Find $(x+1)^6 + (x-1)^6$ . Hence or otherwise evaluate $(\sqrt2+1)^6 + (\sqrt2-1)^6$.

Answer:

Using Binomial Theorem, the expressions $(x+1)^4$ and $(x-1)^4$ can be expressed as ,

$(x+1)^6=^6C_0x^6+^6C_1x^51+^6C_2x^41^2+^4C_3x^31^3+^6C_4x^21^4+^6C_5x1^5+^6C_61^6$

$(x-1)^6=^6C_0x^6-^6C_1x^51+^6C_2x^41^2-^4C_3x^31^3+^6C_4x^21^4-^6C_5x1^5+^6C_61^6$

From Here,

$\\(x+1)^6-(x-1)^6=^6C_0x^6+^6C_1x^51+^6C_2x^41^2+^4C_3x^31^3+$$^6C_4x^21^4+^6C_5x1^5+^6C_61^6$$\:\:\:\:\;\:\:\;\:\:\:\ +^6C_0x^6-^6C_1x^51+^6C_2x^41^2-^4C_3x^31^3+^6C_4x^21^4-^6C_5x1^5+^6C_61^6$

$(x+1)^6+(x-1)^6=2(^6C_0x^6+^6C_2x^41^2+^6C_4x^21^4+^6C_61^6)$

$(x+1)^6+(x-1)^6=2(x^6+15x^4+15x^2+1)$

Now, Using this, we get

$(\sqrt2+1)^6 + (\sqrt2-1)^6=2((\sqrt{2})^6+15(\sqrt{2})^4+15(\sqrt{2})^2+1)$

$(\sqrt2+1)^6 + (\sqrt2-1)^6=2(8+60+30+1)=2(99)=198$

Question 13: Show that $9^{n+1} - 8n - 9$is divisible by 64, whenever n is a positive integer.

Answer:

If we want to prove that $9^{n+1} - 8n - 9$is divisible by 64, then we have to prove that $9^{n+1} - 8n - 9=64k$

As we know, from binomial theorem,

$(1+x)^m=^mC_0+^mC_1x+^mC_2x^2+^mC_3x^3+....^mC_mx^m$

Here putting x = 8 and replacing m by n+1, we get,

$9^{n+1}=^{n+1}C_0+\:^{n+1}C_18+^{n+1}C_28^2+.......+^{n+1}C_{n+1}8^{n+1}$

$9^{n+1}=1+8(n+1)+8^2(^{n+1}C_2+\:^{n+1}C_38+^{n+1}C_48^2+.......+^{n+1}C_{n+1}8^{n-1})$

$9^{n+1}=1+8n+8+64(k)$

Now, Using This,

$9^{n+1} - 8n - 9=9+8n+64k-9-8n=64k$

Hence

$9^{n+1} - 8n - 9$ is divisible by 64.

Question 14: Prove that $\sum_{r = 0}^n3^r \ ^nC_r = 4^n$

Answer:

As we know from Binomial Theorem,

$\sum_{r = 0}^na^r \ ^nC_r = (1+a)^n$

Here putting a = 3, we get,

$\sum_{r = 0}^n3^r \ ^nC_r = (1+3)^n$

$\sum_{r = 0}^n3^r \ ^nC_r = 4^n$

Hence Proved.
