Lesson: The Binomial Theorem Mathematics

Start Practising

In this lesson, we will learn how to expand any binomial expression of the form (a + b)ⁿ using combinations.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

state the binomial theorem using sigma notation and combination notation (and/or factorials),
apply the binomial theorem to expand a binomial of any power,
express a simple expanded binomial as its factorized counterpart,
manipulate or evaluate expressions and equations involving binomials and combinations (and/or factorials),
find an approximate value for any power of a numerical value using the binomial theorem.
