Exercise Topic Map

Exercise 7.1Write expansion; find Tᵣ₊₁=ⁿCᵣxⁿ⁻ʳyʳ; extract specific terms
Exercise 7.2Middle term(s); numerically greatest term; Σ Cᵣ identities
MiscellaneousCoefficient of xᵏ by setting power=k; approximation; sum

Key Formulae

\(T_{r+1} = {}^nC_r \cdot x^{n-r} \cdot y^r\)
\(\text{Sum of coefficients: set }x=y=1 \Rightarrow 2^n\)
\(\text{Middle term (n even): }T_{n/2+1}\)
\(\text{Middle terms (n odd): }T_{(n+1)/2}\text{ and }T_{(n+3)/2}\)

NCERT Solving Method

Step 1 — Write Tᵣ₊₁=ⁿCᵣ·xⁿ⁻ʳ·yʳ for every problem. Step 2 — Constant term (independent of x): set power of x=0, solve for r. Step 3 — Coefficient of xᵏ: set total power of x=k, solve r, substitute back. Step 4 — Greatest term: Tᵣ₊₁/Tᵣ≥1, solve r, verify with adjacent terms.
