HW Qs? H8: WS
History and Creation of Pascal’s Triangle
The Chinese developed the same triangle in 1261.
Used for solving algebra problems.
BLAISE PASCAL French mathematician
Born in 1623
Child prodigy
At age 19, invented 1st calculating machine (called the Pascaline) to help his father who was a tax collector
Developed the triangle in response to a question on gambling
Died at the age of 39 as a result of poor health
Pascal’s Triangle & Algebra
(x + y)0 = 1
(x + y)1 = 1x + 1y
(x + y)2 = 1x2 + 2xy + 1y2
(x + y)3 = 1x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + 1y3
(x + y)4 = 1x4 + 4x3y + 6x2y2 + 4xy3 + 1y4
What is the degree of each term?
5-72/19 Binomial Theorem 50
Binomial Theorem: can use Pascal’s Triangle to expand a BINOMIAL expression.
Example:1) (3x – 5)2
