Hello friends of steemit

For this opportunity I will talk about the combinatorial numbers, in my previous post made several days ago explain how to arrive at the combination expression, starting from the meaning of the variations and permutation, denoted as follows:

alt

Because of its origin, it is usually called combinatorial numbers and also binomial coefficients, because they have special importance in the development of the powers of the form (a + b) m , to represent them Euler used the symbol , but nowadays the notation is more frequent, which leaves us by definition:

alt

Some fundamental properties of the combinatorial numbers are the following:

  1. The number alt, is always integer, in effect as this number equals C m,n , and since this is integer, since it is the number of combinations of m elements taken n to n, so is the first.

  2. The number alt is equal to the number alt. In fact, by definition, you have to:

    alt

Potency of a Binomial

As an application of the combinatorial theory that we have just mentioned, I will explain below the formula that expresses the development of the power of a binomial, generally known as the formula of Newton's binomial formula.

Successive potency of (a + b)

Following the ordinary rule of multiplication, we can verify that :

alt

Similarly, it will be obtained for exponents 5, 6, etc., but as this procedure becomes more and more laborious, it is convenient to find a training law for these powers. Indeed, it can be observed that each of the developments are homogeneous polynomials, complete ordered and of the same degree as the power of the corresponding binomial, so the developments that are obtained from the following powers will be of the same nature. Also, as the exponents of a and b in any of the developments, that of (a + b) 4 . for example, they appear in the following order:

alt

The exponents of a marked with the red color: 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, decrease from 4 to 0, remember that we can assume that the last exponent of a is 0 for the property alt

alt

The exponents of b marked with the blue color: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, grow from 0 to 4, if the developments follow this pattern, it can be easily deduced that the next exponent 5, for example, it comes as follows:

alt

where c, are the coefficients of development, we can generally write it as follows:

alt

Development coefficients (a + b) m

It is quite understandable that it is enough to find the formation of the coefficients, to have the law of formation of development. Looking at the coefficients of the first of the first exponents:

Coefficients of (a+b): 1, 1. That can very well be written using the notation for the combinations alt and alt is say, the results of the combinations correspond to the coefficients of the exponent 1 development, analogously

Coefficients of (a + b)2: 1,2,1, which in combination form alt

Coefficients of (a+b) 3 : 1,3,3,1 = alt

Coefficients of (a+b) 4 : 1,4,6,4,1 = alt

So we could build the developments successively, which generally remains:

alt

This last development is usually called Newton's formula or Newton's binomial, which in its compact form:
alt

In summary, we can say that the development of the bth power of the binomial (a+b), being m integral and positive, is a homogeneous, complete and ordered polynomial of degree m in the letters a and b, whose coefficients are the combinatorial numbers alt

For example:

alt
alt

With this I finish the explanation of the binomial of Newton and its easy deduction, I hope that this basic but important information will be of help for you my dear steemians
