Further binomial Series expansion
Series BAT review the binomial expansion and extend to expansion of a negative or fractional powers using a series expansion of (1 + x)n KUS objectives Starter: write in index notation 1 ? 6 ?6 1 ? 7 6 (? 7)6 1 3?1/2 1 3?
WB 1 (review) a) find ? + ?? Always start by writing out the general form ? ??? ?? + ? ??? ???+ ? ??? ???+ + ? ??? ? + ??= ??+ Work out the fractions 1 + ?4= 1 + 4? + 6?2+ 4?3+ ?4 Every term after this one will contain a (0) so can be ignored The expansion is finite and exact
WB 1b (review) We use the substitution x -2x b) find ? ??? ? ??? ?? + ? ??? ???+ ? ??? ???+ + ? ??? ? + ??= ??+ It is VERY important to put brackets around the x parts Work out the fractions 1 2?3= 1 6? + 12?2 8?3 +
There is a shortened version of the expansion when one of the terms is 1 (1 + ?)?= n n n n r + + + ...... 1 1 2 2 1nx 1n 1n r rx 1n x 0 1 2 Whatever power 1 is raised to, it will be 1, and can therefore be ignored ( 1) n n ( 1)( 3! 2) n n n + + + 2 ...... 3 x 1 nx x 2! The coefficients give values from Pascal s triangle. (1 + ?)4= 1 + 4? + 6?2+ 4?3+ ?4 For example, if n was 4 ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?!
WB2a Find the first 4 terms of the Binomial expansion of a) (1 + 2x)5 b) 2 ?6 c) 2 ?6?) 3 + 9?5 ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! 1 + 2?5 = 1 + 5 ?? +5(4) ???+5(4)(3) Put the numbers in ??? 2 6 Work out the arithmetic = ? + ??? + ???? + ???? +
WB2b Find the first 4 terms of the Binomial expansion of ?) 2 ?6 6 This needs rearranged 6 1 1 = 64 1 ? 2 ?6= 26 2? 2 Now do the expansion bit ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! ? ? 6 1 ? = 1 + 6 ? +6(5) ? +6(5)(4) ? Put the numbers in 2 ? 2 ? 6 ? Work out the arithmetic +15 5 4?2 2?3 + = 1 3? Remember to multiply by 64! 6 64 1 ? = ?? ???? + ????? ?????+ 2
WB2c Find the first 4 terms of the Binomial expansion of ?) 2 2?4 This needs rearranged 2 2?4= 24 1 ?4= 16 1 ?4 Now do the expansion bit ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! Put the numbers in 1 ?4 = 1 + 4 ? +4(3) ??+4(3)(2) ?? 2 6 Work out the fractions + 6?2 4?3 + = 1 4? Remember to multiply by 16! 16 1 ?4 = ?? ??? + ???? ????+
WB2d Find the first 4 terms of the Binomial expansion of ?) 3 + 9?5 This needs rearranged 3 + 9?5= 35 1 + 3?5= 243 1 + 3?5 Now do the expansion bit ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! 1 + 3?5= 1 + 5 ?? +5(4) ???+5(4)(3) Put the numbers in ???+ 2 6 Work out the arithmetic = 1 + 15? + 90?2 + 270?3+ Remember to multiply by 243 243 1 + 3?5 = ??? + ????? + ??????? ????????+
Negative or fraction coefficients give INFINITE series when expanded ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ?????+ ?! ?! Goes on forever with increasing powers of x SO we usually give the expansion to a set number of terms Usually up to ?3 or ?4 We can only use the above expansion DO NOT use the expansion for ? + ??
WB 3 find the binomial expansion of up to the term in x3 a) ? ?? ? ?+??) ? Rewrite this as a power of x first ? + ? ? ? + ?= ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! ? ? ? ??+( ?)( ?)( ?) ? + ? ?= ? + ? ? + ??+ ? ? + ? ?= ? ? + ?? ?? + (This is a useful one to remember it will come up again )
WB 3b find the binomial expansion of ?) ? ?? Rewrite this as a power of x first ? + ? ? ? ?? = ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???/?= ? + ???+ ???+ ?? + ? ? ???/?= ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ?? ?? ?? +
WB 4a find the binomial expansion of the following and state the values of x for which each is valid ?) Explain why ? = ? is not valid by substituting into your answer for (a) ? ??) ? ? ? ?? ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??/?= ? + ??+ ??+ ? + ? ? ??/?= ? ? ?? ? ? ??? ?? ?? + Imagine we substitute x = 2 into the expansion ? (?)?/?= ? ? ?(?) ? ? ?? (?) + ?(?) = ? ?.???? ?.???? ?.???? + You can see the values fluctuate The result is that the sequence will not converge and hence for x = 2, the expansion is not valid
WB 4a (cont) state the values of x for which each is valid ?) ? ? ? ? = ? ? ?? ? ? ?? ?? + ??? Imagine we substitute x = 2 into the expansion ? (?)?/?= ? ? ?(?) ? ? ?? (?) + ?(?) = ? ?.???? ?.???? ?.???? + The values fluctuate. The result is that the sequence will not converge . and hence for x = 2, the expansion is not valid How do we work out for what set of values x is valid? The reason an expansion diverges or converges is down to the x term If the term is bigger than 1 or less than -1, squaring/cubing etc will accelerate the size of the term, diverging the sequence If the term is between 1 and -1, squaring and cubing cause the terms to become increasingly small, so the sum of the sequence will converge, and be valid ? < ? < ? is the same as ? < ? < ? or ? < ?
WB 4b find the binomial expansion of the following and state the values of x for which each is valid ?) ? ?+??? ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? + ?? ?= ? + ? ?? + ???+ ???+ ? + ?? ?= ? ?? + ???? ??? ?? + The x term is 4x so the expansion is valid for ? < ?? < ? ? < ?? < ? is the same as ? ?< ? <? ? or ? <? ?
WB 5 Find the binomial expansion of ? ?? and by using ? = ?.?? find an estimate for ? ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ???/?= ? + ???+ ???+ ?? + ? ? ???/?= ? ? ? ??? ? ? ?? + Put x = 0.01 RHS = 1 0.01 0.00005 0.0000005 = 0.9899495
WB 5 (cont) Find the binomial expansion of ? ?? and by using ? = ?.?? find an estimate for ? ? ???/?= ? ? ? ??? ? Substitute x = 0.01 To BOTH sides ? ?? + RHS = 1 0.01 0.00005 0.0000005 = 0.9899495 ?/? ? ?? ??? =? ? LHS ? ???/?= ? = ? ??? LHS = RHS ? ? ?= 0.9899495 Rearranges to ? = 1.414213571
WB 6 use a binomial expansion to find an approximation to ??? give your answer to 5 decimal places 102 = An appropriate expansion is 1 + 2? 100 1.02 = 10 1.02 with ? = 0.01 ? + ??= ? + ?? +? ? ? ??+? ? ? (? ?) ??+ + ??? (??) ?! ?! Put the numbers in ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? + ???/?= ? + ???+ ???+ ?? + ? ? + ???/?= ? + ? ? ???+? ? ?? +
WB 6 (cont) use a binomial expansion to find an approximation to ??? give your answer to 5 decimal places 102 = 10 1.02 and ? + ???/?= ? + ? ? ???+? ? ?? + with ? = 0.01 we get ? + ???/?= 1 + 0.01 1 20.012 +1 20.013 = 1.0099505 Remember to x10 102 = 10.099505 If you check with calculator this is accurate to 6 decimal places
