Expand each of the expression in Exercises 1 to 5.
1. 
Ans. Using Binomial Theorem,

= 
=
Ans.
2. 
Ans. Using Binomial Theorem,
=
= 
3. 
Ans. Using Binomial Theorem,


=
= 
4. 
Ans. Using Binomial Theorem,

= 
= 
5. 
Ans. Using Binomial Theorem,

=
= 
Using binomial theorem evaluate each of the following:
6. 
Ans. First we have to express 96 as the sum or difference of two numbers whose powers are easier to calculate and then use Binomial Theorem
We can write
Therefore
Using Binomial Theorem,

= 
= 1000000 – 120000 + 4800 – 64
= 1004800 – 120064 = 884736
7. 
Ans. First we have to express 102 as the sum or difference of two numbers whose powers are easier to calculate and then use Binomial Theorem
We can write 102=100+2
Therefore 
Using Binomial Theorem,

= 
= 10000000000 + 1000000000 + 40000000 + 800000 + 8000 + 32
= 11040808032
8. 
Ans. First we have to express 101 as the sum or difference of two numbers whose powers are easier to calculate and then use Binomial Theorem
We can write 101=100+1
Therefore 
Using Binomial Theorem,
= 
= 100000000 + 4000000 + 60000 + 400 + 1
= 104060401
9. 
Ans. First we have to express 99 as the sum or difference of two numbers whose powers are easier to calculate and then use Binomial Theorem
We can write
Therefore 
Using Binomial Theorem,
=
= 10000000000 – 500000000 + 10000000 – 100000 + 500 – 1
= 9509900499
10. Using binomial theorem, indicate which number is larger
or 1000.
Ans. We have


Using Binomial Theorem,

= 1 + 10000 (0.1) + other positive numbers
= 1 + 1000 + other positive numbers
which is greater than 1000


11. Find
Hence evaluate: 
Ans. Given: 
Using Binomial Theorem,


= 
= 
= 
Putting
and 

= Ans.
12. Find
Hence or otherwise evaluate 
Ans. Given: 
Using Binomial Theorem,


= 
=
= 
Putting 

= 
= 2 [ 8 + 60 + 30 + 1] =
= 198
13. Show that
is divisible by 64 whenever
is a positive integer.
Ans. We know that b is divisible by a( or a divides b) , k is an integer
Here we have to show that 64 divides 
,k is an integer
We have 
Using Binomial Theorem,we have


= 
= 



,where is an integer
which shows that
is divisible by 64.
14. Prove that 
Ans. L.H.S. = 
But we have

Hence proved
