📚 Expanding (1 + x)n | (1 + x)ⁿ 的展开
The binomial expansion is one of the most fundamental algebraic techniques in A-Level mathematics. Understanding how to expand (1 + x)ⁿ is essential for success in Edexcel examinations, as it appears in pure mathematics, statistics, and mechanics contexts.
二项式展开是 A-Level 数学中最基础的代数技巧之一。理解如何展开 (1 + x)ⁿ 对 Edexcel 考试的成功至关重要,它出现在纯数学、统计和力学等多个领域。
1. What Is a Binomial Expansion? | 什么是二项式展开?
means writing it as a sum of terms without brackets. For example, (1 + x)² = 1 + 2x + x².
二项式表达式是恰好包含两项的代数表达式,如 (1 + x)。将一个二项式提升到 n 次幂时,展开意味着将其写成不带括号的项之和。例如,(1 + x)² = 1 + 2x + x²。
The expansion follows a clear pattern that can be generalised for any power n, whether n is a positive integer, a negative integer, or a fraction.
展开遵循一个清晰的规律,可以推广到任意幂 n,无论 n 是正整数、负整数还是分数。
2. Pascal's Triangle | 帕斯卡三角
Pascal's triangle provides a visual way to find the coefficients in the expansion of (1 + x)ⁿ for small positive integer values of n. Each row begins and ends with 1, and each interior number is the sum of the two numbers above it.
帕斯卡三角提供了一种直观的方法来找到 (1 + x)ⁿ 对较小的正整数 n 展开时的系数。每一行以 1 开头和结尾,每个内部的数字是它上方两个数字之和。
For instance:
Row 0: 1
Row 1: 1 1
Row 2: 1 2 1
Row 3: 1 3 3 1
Row 4: 1 4 6 4 1
例如:
第 0 行:1
第 1 行:1 1
第 2 行:1 2 1
第 3 行:1 3 3 1
第 4 行:1 4 6 4 1
to the coefficients of the expansion of (1 + x)ⁿ. Thus (1 + x)⁴ = 1 + 4x + 6x² + 4x³ + x⁴.
第 n 行中的系数直接对应 (1 + x)ⁿ 展开中的系数。因此 (1 + x)⁴ = 1 + 4x + 6x² + 4x³ + x⁴。
3. The Binomial Theorem for Positive Integer n | 正整数 n 的二项式定理
For a positive integer n, the binomial theorem states:
对于正整数 n,二项式定理表述为:
(1 + x)ⁿ = 1 + nx + n(n−1)x²/2! + n(n−1)(n−2)x³/3! + … + xⁿ
This formula uses factorials in the denominators. The general form can also be written using binomial coefficients:
该公式在分母中使用阶乘。一般形式也可以用二项式系数来书写:
(1 + x)ⁿ = ⁿC₀ + ⁿC₁x + ⁿC₂x² + … + ⁿCₙxⁿ
Here ⁿCₖ = n! / (k!(n−k)!) and represents the number of ways to choose k items from a set of n items.
这里 ⁿCₖ = n! / (k!(n−k)!) 表示从 n 个物品中选取 k 个物品的方法数。
4. Factorials and nCr Notation | 阶乘与组合数记号
The factorial of a positive integer n, written as n!, is the product of all positive integers from 1 to n. For example, 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120. By convention, 0! = 1.
正整数 n 的阶乘,记为 n!,是从 1 到 n 的所有正整数的乘积。例如,5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120。按照约定,0! = 1。
The binomial coefficient ⁿCₖ, also written as nCk or C(n, k), is calculated as:
二项式系数 ⁿCₖ(也可以写为 nCk 或 C(n, k))的计算方式为:
ⁿCₖ = n! / (k!(n−k)!)
For example, ⁵C₂ = 5! / (2! × 3!) = 120 / (2 × 6) = 10. This is the coefficient of x² in the expansion of (1 + x)⁵.
例如,⁵C₂ = 5! / (2! × 3!) = 120 / (2 × 6) = 10。这就是 (1 + x)⁵ 展开式中 x² 的系数。
5. The General Term | 一般项
In the expansion of (1 + x)ⁿ where n is a positive integer, the (k+1)th term is given by:
在 (1 + x)ⁿ(n 为正整数)的展开中,第 (k+1) 项由下式给出:
Tₖ₊₁ = ⁿCₖ xᵏ
xpansion. For example, to find the term in x⁵ in the expansion of (1 + x)¹², we set k = 5:
当你需要找到特定项而不想写出整个展开式时,这个一般项非常有用。例如,要找到 (1 + x)¹² 展开中 x⁵ 的项,我们令 k = 5:
T₆ = ¹²C₅ x⁵ = 792x⁵
Some exam questions ask for the coefficient of a specific power, and using the general term formula is the most efficient approach.
有些考试题目要求特定次幂的系数,使用一般项公式是最有效的方法。
6. Expanding (1 + x)ⁿ for Positive Integer n | 正整数 n 时 (1 + x)ⁿ 的展开
When n is a positive integer, the expansion of (1 + x)ⁿ terminates after exactly n + 1 terms. This means the expansion is a finite polynomial with no approximation involved.
当 n 是正整数时,(1 + x)ⁿ 的展开恰好包含 n + 1 项后终止。这意味着展开式是一个有限多项式,不涉及任何近似。
The key properties of this expansion are:
此展开的关键性质为:
The expansion has exactly n + 1 terms.
展开恰好包含 n + 1 项。
The powers of x go
