HL Binomial Theorem Problems

This document contains 6 problems related to binomial theorem. Problem 1 asks to write a quadratic expression as a product of linear factors and find the coefficient of x in its 8th expansion. Problem 2 involves arranging books on a shelf in different ways and finding the number of arrangements where the dictionary is next to mathematics books. Problem 3 simplifies the difference of two binomial coefficients and solves an inequality involving them. Problem 4 expands and simplifies a binomial expression. Problem 5 finds the number of ways 6 people can be seated around a circular table with 2 people not sitting beside each other. Problem 6 finds the value of n and coefficient of x2 given the coefficient of x3 in the
