Pascal

Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of numbers where each number is the sum of the two directly above it, starting and ending with one. It provides binomial coefficients for expansions, with each row corresponding to the coefficients of the expansion of (a+b)^n. The triangle also reveals patterns such as powers of 2 and triangular numbers in its diagonals.

PASCAL’S TRIANGLE

WHAT IS A PASCAL’S TRIANGLE:


A Pascal's triangle is a triangle made up of numbers,
where each number is the sum of the two numbers
directly above it.

Ex:here 5 is the sum of 4


and 1

The starting and ending numbers are always [Link]


Pascal's triangle, the rows are numbers starting from 0
to n.
2. These two diagonals are a set of natural numbers
For example:1,2,3,4,5,6,….. here
3. The next two inner diagonals consist of numbers for
which we can form equilateral triangles. For example:
1 3 6 10 15
0 0 0 0 0
0 0 00 00 00
0 0 0 000 000
0 0 0 0 0000
00000
[Link] we add the numbers of row 0 to row new get a
series of powers of 2, for example:
Row 0: 1 (2 to the power 0)
Row1:1+1=2(2 to the power 1)
Row2: 1+2+1=4(2 to the power 2)
Row3: 1+3+3+1=8(2 to the power 3)
Row4: 1+4+6+6+4+1=16(2 to the power 4)
… gen formula: 2 (raised to number of the row)

APPLICATION OF PASCAL'S LAW


(a+b) ^2=a ^2+2ab+b ^2
Index(or) power=2
Coefficients= 1,2,1(the numbers in second row)
(a+b) ^3=a ^3+3a ^2b+3b ^2a+b ^3
Index(or) power=3
Coefficients=1,3,3,1
We can say that each row of a pascal’s triangle gives us
the binomial coefficients for the expansion having any
index
NOW TO FIND THE BINOMIAL EXPANSION
FOR A GIVEN POSITIVE INTEGRAL EXPONENT
For example:(a+b) ^5
Heres the pascals triangle
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
Row 5: 1 5 10 10 5 1
Coefficients: 1,5,10,10,5,1
Expansion: a^5 + 5a^4b + 10a^3b^2 + 10b^3a^2 +

5b^4a + b^5
