Pascal's Triangle and the Binomial Theorem
This Mathcentre booklet explains the structure of Pascal's triangle and demonstrates how it can be used to raise a binomial expression to a power higher than two. For example if students are asked to find (x+1)7 it would be very cumbersome to do this by repeatedly multiplying the expression by itself. However by considering…
