Maharashtra Board Class 11 Maths Part 2 Chapter 4 Methods of Induction and Binomial Theorem Ex 4.2 Solution

Question 1.
Expand:
(i) (√3 + √2)⁴
Solution:
Here, a = √3, b = √2 and n = 4.
Using binomial theorem,

∴ (√3 + √2)⁴ = 1(9) (1) + 4(3√3) (√2) + 6(3)(2) + 4(√3) (2√2) + 1(1)(4)
= 9 + 12√6 + 36 + 8√6 + 4
= 49 + 20√6

(ii) (√5 – √2)⁵
Solution:
Here, a = √5, b = √2 and n = 5.
Using binomial theorem,

Question 2.
Expand:
(i) (2x² + 3)⁴
Solution:
Here, a = 2x², b = 3 and n = 4.
Using binomial theorem,

Using binomial theorem,

Question 3.
Find the value of
(i) (√3 + 1)⁴ – (√3 – 1)⁴
Solution:

(ii) (2 + √5)⁵ + (2 – √5)⁵
Solution:


Adding (i) and (ii), we get
∴ (2 + √5 )⁵ + (2 – √5)⁵ = (32 + 80√5 + 400 + 200√5 + 250 + 25√5) + (32 – 80√5 + 400 – 200√5+ 250 – 25√5 )
= 64 + 800 + 500
= 1364

Question 4.
Prove that:
(i) (√3 + √2)⁶ + (√3 – √2)⁶ = 970
Solution:

(ii) (√5 + 1)⁵ – (√5 – 1)⁵ = 352
Solution:

Question 5.
Using binomial theorem, find the value of
(i) (102)⁴
Solution:

(ii) (1.1)⁵
Solution:

Question 6.
Using binomial theorem, find the value of
(i) (9.9)³
Solution:

(ii) (0.9)⁴
Solution:

Question 7.
Without expanding, find the value of

Solution:

(ii) (2x – 1)⁴ + 4(2x – 1)³ (3 – 2x) + 6(2x – 1)² (3 – 2x)² + 4(2x – 1)¹ (3 – 2x)³ + (3 – 2x)⁴
Solution:
