Chapter 1: Q3P (page 35)

Show that if $p$ is a positive integer, then $(\frac{p}{n}) = 0$ when $n > p$ ,so $(1 + x)^{p} = 鈭� (\begin{array}{l} p \\ n \end{array}) x^{n}$ is just a sum of $p + 1$ terms, from $n = 0$ to $n = p$ . For example, ${(1 + x)}^{2}$ has $3$ terms, ${(1 + x)}^{3}$ has $4$ terms, etc. This is just the familiar binomial theorem.

Step by step solution

Given Information

The binomial series.

Definition of the binomial series.

The Taylor series for the function given by is the binomial series, where is an arbitrary complex number.

Prove the statement.

The binomial series states that $(1 + x)^{p} = {鈭�}_{n = 0}^{鈭�} (\begin{array}{l} p \\ n \end{array}) x^{n}$

The formula states that $(\begin{array}{l} p \\ n \end{array}) = \frac{p (p - 1) (p - 2) 鈥� (p - n + 1)}{n!}$

$(\begin{array}{l} p \\ n \end{array}) = \frac{p (p - 1) (p - 2) 鈥� (p - p) 鈥� (p - n + 1)}{n!}$

role="math" localid="1657435976526" $\frac{p (p - 1) (p - 2) 鈥� (p - p) 鈥� (p - n + 1)}{n!} = 0 \frac{p!}{p! (p - p)!} = 1 (\begin{array}{l} p \\ n \end{array}) 鈮� 0 only for n 鈮� p and n 鈮� 0$

Solve further.

$(1 + x)^{p} = {鈭�}_{n = 0}^{鈭�} (\begin{array}{l} p \\ n \end{array}) x^{n}$

$(1 + x)^{p} = (\begin{array}{l} p \\ 0 \end{array}) + (\begin{array}{l} p \\ 1 \end{array}) x + (\begin{array}{l} p \\ 2 \end{array}) x^{2} + (\begin{array}{l} p \\ 3 \end{array}) x^{3} + 鈥� + (\begin{array}{l} p \\ p \end{array}) x^{p}$

The expansion has $p + 1$ terms for $n = 0 - p$ .

The statement has been proven.
