Important Results of Binomial Theorem for any Index

$\\\text{If the given series is}\\\\\mathrm{(1+x)^n=1+nx+\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}x^2+\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}x^3+......+\frac{n(n-1)(n-2).....(n-r+1)}{r!}x^r....}$

In the above expansion replace ‘n’ with ‘-n’

$\\\\\mathrm{(1+x)^{-n}=1+(-n)x+\frac{(-n)((-n)-1)}{2!}x^2+\frac{(-n)((-n)-1)((-n)-2)}{3!}x^3+......}\\\mathrm{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;....+\frac{(-n)((-n)-1)((-n)-2).....((-n)-r+1)}{r!}x^r.........\infty}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{(1+x)^{-n}=1-nx+\frac{n(n+1)}{2!}x^2-\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3!}x^3+......}\\\mathrm{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;....+(-1)^r\frac{n(n+1)(n+2).....(n+r-1)}{r!}x^r.........\infty}$

If -n is a negative integer (so that n is a positive integer), then we can re-write this expression as

$=1-^{n} C_{1} x+^{n+1} C_{2} x^{2}-^{n+2} C_{3} x^{3}+\cdots+^{n+r-1} C_{r}(-x)^{r}+\cdots$

Now replace ‘x’ with ‘-x’ and ‘n’ with ‘-n’ in the binomial expansion (1 + x)ⁿ.

$\\(1-x)^{-n}=1+ n x+\frac{n(n+1)}{2 !} x^{2}+\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)}{3 !} x^{3}+\cdots \\ +\frac{n(n+1)(n+2) \cdots(n+r-1)}{r !} x^{r}+\cdots\\\\\text{If -n is a negative integer (so that n is a positive integer), then we can re-write this expression as } \\\\=1+^{n} C_{1} x+^{n+1} C_{2} x^{2}+^{n+2} C_{3} x^{3}+\cdots+^{n+r-1} C_{r}(x)^{r}+\cdots$

Important Note:

The coefficient of x^r in (1 - x)^-n, (when n is a natural number) is ^n+r-1C_r
