Permutations and Combinations
Find the value of r if 10Cr = 10C(r + 2).
Reveal model answer + marking pointsHide answer▾
We use the property that nCa = nCb implies either a = b or a + b = n. Since r is not equal to r + 2, we must have r + (r + 2) = 10, so 2r + 2 = 10, giving 2r = 8 and r = 4.
nCa = nCb => a = b or a + b = n
Marking-scheme points
- ✓nCa = nCb => a = b or a + b = n
- ✓Here r + (r + 2) = 10
- ✓r = 4

Binomial Theorem
State the binomial theorem for (a + b)^n where n is a positive integer, and write the general term.
Reveal model answer + marking pointsHide answer▾
The binomial theorem states that (a + b)^n = nC0 a^n + nC1 a^(n-1) b + nC2 a^(n-2) b^2 + ... + nCn b^n = sum over r from 0 to n of nCr a^(n-r) b^r. The general term (the (r+1)th term) is T(r+1) = nCr a^(n-r) b^r.
T(r+1) = nCr a^(n-r) b^r
Marking-scheme points
- ✓(a + b)^n = sum of nCr a^(n-r) b^r, r = 0 to n
- ✓There are (n + 1) terms
- ✓General term T(r+1) = nCr a^(n-r) b^r

Binomial Theorem
Find the middle term in the expansion of (x + 2y)^6.
Reveal model answer + marking pointsHide answer▾
Here n = 6 is even, so there is one middle term, the (n/2 + 1) = 4th term. T4 = 6C3 x^3 (2y)^3 = 20 x^3 x 8 y^3 = 160 x^3 y^3.
middle term = (n/2 + 1)th term when n is even
Marking-scheme points
- ✓n = 6 even -> single middle term = 4th term
- ✓T4 = 6C3 x^3 (2y)^3
- ✓= 20 x 8 x^3 y^3 = 160 x^3 y^3
