Also to find the power of (X+Y) I will use some examples to find the pattern in it:
From the examples above, I deduced the equation of by following the pattern, and it is:
Question
Let A=aX and B=bY, where a and b are constants, use different values of a and b to calculate
Solution
First we need to find A, B:
Find using different values of a and b
Let’s assume that a= 2
Also, let’s assume that b=3
To obtain the general formula for we need to find a formula for without using different values of a and b, are:
Question
By considering integer powers of A and B, find expressions for
Solution
By following the pattern in the previous question, one can deduce that the formulas are:
And to find the formula for, one should give some examples and work done on it, so the pattern can be traced and noticed:
So, by noticing the pattern in the examples provided above, I conclude that the formula will be:
Question
Now consider , show that M= A+B, and that
Solution
This is solved by keeping a and b as constants, but without using number, so it is kind of a general formula.
To make sure of it, an example is giving, where we replace a=2, and b=3
Question
Hence, find the general statement that expresses in terms of aX and bY.
Solution
After following the pattern in the previous question, I concluded the formula of to be:
To obtain the general formula of in terms of aX and bY:
Question
Test the validity of your general statement by using different values of a, b and n.
Solution
Let’s assume that a=2, b=3 and n=3
And by using the formulas we got from before
Where
So, also by assuming the same variables as before a=2, b=3 and n=3, and then replacing them in the equation, we get the exact result as before:
