Question 2. Find a if the coefficients of x 2 and x 3 in the expansion of (3 + ax) 9 are equal.
Solution :
Question 3. Find the coefficient of x 5 in the product (1 + 2x) 6 (1 – x) 7 using binomial theorem.
Solution :
Using Binomial Theorem,
Question 4. If a and b are distinct integers, prove that a – b is a factor of a n – b n , whenever n is a positive integer.
[Hint: write an = (a – b + b) n and expand]
Solution :
n order to prove that (a – b) is a factor of (a
n
– b
n
), it has to be proved that
a

Question 7. Find an approximation of (0.99) 5 using the first three terms of its expansion.
Solution :
Here .99 can be written as
0.99 = 1 – 0.01
Now by applying binomial theorem we get
(o. 99)5 = (1 – 0.01)
