HSC Extension One Maths Binomial Theorem Exam

Use arrows on the side of the screen to move between pages.

Important: These tests take time to write, if you’re in a position consider buying me a coffee so I can keep doing this in the long term.

Below is a skills checklist I wrote based on the syllabus, if you can do everything listed below you should be in a good position for both your school’s binomial theorem test and the binomial theorem questions in the HSC.

  • Understand the link between the coefficients of binomial expansions and Pascal’s triangle

  • Understand the link between binomial coefficients and combinations

  • Derive the binomial theorem

  • Use the binomial theorem to expand and simplify expressions

  • Use the binomial theorem to determine specific coefficients in an expansion

  • Prove identities using the binomial theorem
