The document describes the methodology for deriving binomial expansions of (a+b)^n for values of n from 1 to 6 using the expanding bracket method. This results in Pascal's triangle, which shows the binomial coefficients of the expansions. The general formula for the binomial expansion of (a+b)^n is obtained using n! notation. Specific cases are obtained by substituting values for a and b, such as finding e by taking the limit as n approaches infinity of (1+1/n)^n.

METHODOLOGY

n
The expansion of the form (a+ b) for n=1,2, , 6 is obtained by

using the expanding bracket method. For each of the expansions


a

shown at the result, if the coefficients of

and b are extracted, a

triangular array of numbers are obtained. The coefficients are called


binomial coefficients and the triangle array of numbers is known as
Pascals Triangle.
After that, in the general formula for the binomial expansion of
(a+ b) n

is obtained by using the n ! notation. However, the general

formula for binomial expansion of (1+ x)

is obtained by substitute

in the pattern of coefficients of the terms. By substitute

a=1,b=1 , the value is deduced. Besides that, by substitute


a=1,b=1 , the values is deduced.
