For an integer n ge 2, if the arithmetic mean of all coefficients in the binomial expansion of (x + y)^2n - 3 is 16, then the distance of the point P(2n - 1, n^2 - 4n) from the line x + y = 8 is:

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula Sum of binomial coefficients for (x+y)^m is 2^m. Total number of terms is m + 1. Perpendicular distance formula from (x_0, y_0) to ax + by + c = 0: d = frac|ax_0 + by_0 + c|sqrta^2 + b^2 ### Core Logic The power is m = 2n - 3. Sum of coefficients = 2^2n - 3. Total terms = 2n - 2. Given Arithmetic Mean: frac2^2n - 32n - 2 = 16 implies frac2^2n - 32(n - 1) = 16 implies 2^2n - 4 = 16(n - 1) Testing integer values, n = 5 satisfies the equation perfectly since 2^6 = 64 and 16(5 - 1) = 64. ### Step 1: Determine Coordinates of Point P Substitute n = 5 into P(2n - 1, n^2 - 4n): x_0 = 2(5) - 1 = 9 y_0 = 5^2 - 4(5) = 5 Thus, P = (9, 5).

Numerical Answer. Answer: 63 to 63

Solution

### Related Formula (10k - 1)^n = dots + binomnn-1(10k)(-1)^n-1 + (-1)^n ### Core Logic Break the base parameter into a multiple of 10 form (1920 - 1) and use binomial expansions to decouple high factor blocks from final terminal digits. ### Step 1: Set Up Binomial Expansion (1919)^1919 = (1920 - 1)^1919 = binom19190(1920)^1919 - dots + binom19191918(1920)^1 - binom19191919 ### Step 2: Isolate Low Factor Coefficients All higher structural tracks sitting above index points present factors multiple loops over 100. Isolate trailing values: = 100lambda + 1919 times 1920 - 1 ### Step 3: Deduce Final Trailing Quotient Product 1919 times 1920 - 1 = 3684480 - 1 = 3684479 Trailing structural indicators: 79. Product calculation response: 7 times 9 = 63 ### Pattern Recognition Using expansions around tens bases shifts focus entirely to the last two expansion expressions to find digit answers rapidly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem

The remainder, when 7^103 is divided by 23, is equal to:
  • A. 14
  • B. 9
  • C. 17
  • D. 6

Solution

### Related Formula Modular arithmetic congruence rules: A equiv B pmodm implies A^n equiv B^n pmodm ### Core Logic We need to compute 7^103 pmod23. Let's break the exponent down into manageable powers: 7^103 = 7 cdot (7^2)^51 = 7 cdot (49)^51 Since 49 equiv 3 pmod23: 7^103 equiv 7 cdot 3^51 pmod23 ### Step 1: Simplify Higher Power Components Break down 3^51 using 3^3 = 27 equiv 4 pmod23: 3^51 = (3^3)^17 = 27^17 equiv 4^17 pmod23 So the expression becomes: 7 cdot 4^17 = 7 cdot 4 cdot (4^2)^8 = 28 cdot 16^8 Since 28 equiv 5 pmod23 and 16 equiv -7 pmod23: equiv 5 cdot (-7)^8 = 5 cdot 7^8 pmod23 ### Step 2: Final Remainder Evaluation Now compute 7^8 using 7^2 = 49 equiv 3 pmod23: 7^8 = (7^2)^4 equiv 3^4 = 81 pmod23 Since 81 equiv 12 pmod23: textExpression equiv 5 cdot 12 = 60 pmod23 Dividing 60 by 23 (23 times 2 = 46) yields a remainder of: 60 - 46 = 14 ### Pattern Recognition Using negative remainders (like 16 equiv -7) reduces large multiplication outputs instantly during binary power modular loops. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem
Q54 2025 Rational Terms in Expansion

  • A. 16923
  • B. 3763
  • C. 33845
  • D. 18817

Solution

### Related Formula General term in the binomial expansion of (a+b)^n: T_r+1 = ^nC_r cdot a^n-r cdot b^r ### Core Logic For a term to be rational in (2+sqrt3)^8, the power of sqrt3 must be an even integer[cite: 1218]. Thus, r can only take even values from 0 to 8 [cite: 1219, 1220]: r in \0, 2, 4, 6, 8\ [cite: 1219, 1220] ### Step 1: Calculating individual rational terms Sum up terms explicitly for all valid values of r [cite: 1219, 1220]: textSum = ^8C_0(2)^8 + ^8C_2(2)^6(sqrt3)^2 + ^8C_4(2)^4(sqrt3)^4 + ^8C_6(2)^2(sqrt3)^6 + ^8C_8(sqrt3)^8 [cite: 1219, 1220] Compute the individual numeric values [cite: 1221]: - r=0: 1 cdot 256 = 256 - r=2: 28 cdot 64 cdot 3 = 5376 - r=4: 70 cdot 16 cdot 9 = 10080 - r=28 cdot 4 cdot 27 = 3024 - r=8: 1 cdot 1 cdot 81 = 81 textTotal Sum = 256 + 5376 + 10080 + 3024 + 81 = 18817 [cite: 1221, 1222] ### Pattern Recognition Notice that the sum of all rational terms can also be viewed as the rational part of the expanded configuration, equivalent to frac(2+sqrt3)^8 + (2-sqrt3)^82. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem

Binomial Theorem expansion: sum_r=0^n ^nC_r x^r = (1+x)^n ### Core Logic Split the given series summation into two independent parts [cite: 1316]: textSum = sum_r=1^9 fracr2^r cdot ^9C_r + 3sum_r=1^9 frac12^r cdot ^9C_r [cite: 1316] Simplify the first sub-sum using the index relation r cdot ^9C_r = 9 cdot ^8C_r-1 [cite: 1316]: sum_r=1^9 frac92^r cdot ^8C_r-1 = frac92sum_r=1^9 ^8C_r-1left(frac12right)^r-1 = frac92left(1 + frac12right)^8 = frac92left(frac32right)^8 [cite: 1316] Simplify the second sub-sum by including missing index r=0 [cite: 1316]: 3left[sum_r=0^9 ^9C_rleft(frac12right)^r - 1right] = 3left[left(1 + frac12right)^9 - 1right] = 3left(frac32right)^9 - 3 [cite: 1316] ### Step 1: Combining the components Combine both evaluations to fit into requested representation shape [cite: 1316]: textTotal Sum = frac92left(frac32right)^8 + 3left(frac32right)^9 - 3 [cite: 1316] Convert the fractional leading term [cite: 1316]: frac92left(frac32right)^8 = 3 cdot frac32left(frac32right)^8 = 3left(frac32right)^9 [cite: 1316] textTotal Sum = 3left(frac32right)^9 + 3left(frac32right)^9 - 3 = 6left(frac32right)^9 - 3 [cite: 1316] Matching coefficients gives [cite: 1317]: alpha = 6, quad beta = 3 [cite: 1317] Evaluate the required squared value [cite: 1317]: (alpha + beta)^2 = (6 + 3)^2 = 81 [cite: 1317] ### Pattern Recognition Splitting variable factors into standard combinatoric property fractions simplifies coefficient conversions with geometric series denominators. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem

  • A. 19
  • B. 21
  • C. 18
  • D. 20

Solution

### Related Formula The general property linking indices to binomial coefficients is: r cdot binomnr = n cdot binomn-1r-1 ### Core Logic The given series can be structured using summation notation: S = sum_r=1^15 r^2 cdot binom15r Apply the identity r cdot binom15r = 15 cdot binom14r-1 to reduce one factor of r: S = sum_r=1^15 r cdot left[ 15 cdot binom14r-1 right] = 15 sum_r=1^15 r cdot binom14r-1 ### Step 1: Splitting the linear term Rewrite the index variable r as (r - 1) + 1 to align with the binomial lower index: S = 15 sum_r=1^15 big((r - 1) + 1big) cdot binom14r-1 S = 15 sum_r=1^15 (r - 1) cdot binom14r-1 + 15 sum_r=1^15 binom14r-1 Applying the property again to the first summation term: (r-1)binom14r-1 = 14binom13r-2: S = 15 cdot 14 sum_r=2^15 binom13r-2 + 15 sum_r=1^15 binom14r-1 ### Step 2: Evaluating the Sums and Prime Factorization Using the standard total sum of binomial coefficients sum_k=0^n binomnk = 2^n: S = 15 cdot 14 cdot 2^13 + 15 cdot 2^14 Factor out 15 cdot 2^13 from the expression: S = 15 cdot 2^13 (14 + 2) = 15 cdot 2^13 (16) = 15 cdot 2^13 cdot 2^4 S = 15 cdot 2^17 = (3^1 cdot 5^1) cdot 2^17 Matching this with the given format 2^m cdot 3^n cdot 5^k, we identify: m = 17, n = 1, and k = 1. ### Step 3: Calculating the sum of exponents Evaluating the targeted summation: m + n + k = 17 + 1 + 1 = 19 ### Pattern Recognition For a series of the type sum r^2 binomnr, remember the standard identity shortcut: n(n-1)2^n-2 + n2^n-1. Plugging in n=15 instantly outputs 15(14)2^13 + 15(2^14), bypasses matching terms manually. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem
