Question 83 Marks
Expand the given expression ${\left( {x + \frac{1}{x}} \right)^6}$
Answer
Using binomial theorem for the expansion of ${\left( {x + \frac{1}{x}} \right)^6}$ we have
${\left( {x + \frac{1}{x}} \right)^6}$= ${ = ^6}{C_0}{(x)^6}{ + ^6}{C_1}{(x)^5}\left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right)$${ + ^6}{C_2}{(x)^4}{\left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right)^2}{ + ^6}{C_3}{(x)^3}{\left( {\frac{1}{x}} \right)^3}$

Question 123 Marks
Show that 9n+1 - 8n - 9 is divisible by 64 whenever n is a positive integer.
Answer
We have 9n+1 = (1 + 8)n+1
${ = ^{n + 1}}{C_0}{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_1}(8){ + ^{n + 1}}{C_2}{(8)^2} + $$^{n + 1}{C_3}{(8)^3} + ...{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}}{(8)^{n + 1}}$
$ = 1 + (n + 1) \times 8{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_2}{(8)^2}$${ + ^{n + 1}}{C_3}{(8)^3} + ...{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}}{(8)^{n + 1}}$
$ = 1 + 8n + 8{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_2}{(8)^2}{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_3}{(8)^3} + $$....{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}}{(8)^{n + 1}}$

$\style{font-family:Tahoma}{\style{font-size:8px}{=\;9\;+8n\;+^{n+1}C_2\left(8\right)^2\;+^{n+1}C_3\left(8\right)^3\;+........\;+^{n+1}C_{n+1}(8)^{n+1}}}$
$ \style{font-family:Tahoma}{\style{font-size:8px}{\Rightarrow9^{n+1}-8n-9=^{n+1}C_2{(8)^2}+^{n+1}C_3{(8)^3}}}$$ + ...{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}}{(8)^{n + 1}}$
$ = 64{[^{n + 1}}{C_2}{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_3} \cdot 8$$ + ...{ + ^{n + 1}}{C_{n + 1}} \cdot {8^{n + 1}}]$
which show that 9n+1 - 8n-9 is divisible by 64 wherever n is a positive integer

Question 133 Marks
Find (x + 1)6 + (x - 1)6. Hence or otherwise evaluate ${(\sqrt 2 + 1)^6} + {(\sqrt 2 - 1)^6}$
Answer
(x + 1)6 + (x - 1)6 =$ = {[^6}{C_0}{x^6}{ + ^6}{C_1}{x^5}{ + ^6}{C_2}{x^4}{ + ^6}{C_3}{x^3}{ + ^6}{C_4}{x^2}{ + ^6}{C_5}x{ + ^6}{C_6}]$
$ + {[^6}{C_0}{x^6}{ + ^6}{C_1}{x^5}( - 1){ + ^6}{C_2}{x^4}{( - 1)^2}{ + ^6}{C_3}{x^3}{( - 1)^3}$${ + ^6}{C_4}{x^2}{( - 1)^4}{ + ^6}{C_5}x{( - 1)^5}{ + ^6}{C_6}{( - 1)^6}]$
= [x6 + 6x5 + 15x4 + 20x3 + 15x$^2$+ 6x + 1] + [x6 - 6x5 + 15x4 - 20x3 + 15x2 - 6x + 1]
= 2x6 + 30x4 + 30x2 + 2
= 2(x6 + 15x4 + 15x2 + 1)
Putting $x = \sqrt 2 $
${(\sqrt 2 + 1)^6} + {(\sqrt 2 - 1)^6} = 2[{(\sqrt 2 )^6} + 15{(\sqrt 2 )^4} + 15{(\sqrt 2 )^2} + 1]$
$ = 2\left[ {8 + 15 \times 4 + 15 \times 2 + 1} \right]$
= 2 [8 + 60 + 30 + 1]
$ = 2 \times 99 = 198$
