Greatest Term (numerically)

Numerically Greatest Value:

The number which has the highest modulus value is called the Numerically Greatest Value

Eg, out of 4, -7, -5, 6, 1

-7 has the Numerically Greatest Value because its mod value (=7) is the largest among all the mod values of the given numbers

 

Method to find the Numerically Greatest Term of the expansion (a + b)n

First, find the value of m which is

\mathrm{m=\frac{(n+1)}{1+\left | \frac{a}{b} \right |}}

If m is an integer, then Tm  and Tm + 1   are numerically equal and both are greatest terms.

If m is not an integer, then T[m] + 1 is the greatest term, where [m] is an integral part of m.
