Function Sequence Calculus

This example visually demonstrates the general term formula and expansion of the binomial theorem. It involves core mathematical concepts like binomial coefficients, exponents, power operations, and sequences. Constructed using GeoGebra commands/objects such as Sequence, SelectedIndex, Text, and Slider. Suitable for high school mathematics education to help students understand the application and properties of the binomial theorem.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

Sequence(i + If[i ≟ 1, "st", If[i ≟ 2, "nd", If[i ≟ 3, "rd", "th"]]], i, 1, n + 1) → listterm
SelectedIndex(listterm) → termno
Text("=" + (Sum[Sequence[If[i ≟ r, "\textcolor{red}\underline{", ""] + "\binom{" + n + "}{" + (i) + "}" + a + "^" + "{" + (n - i) + "}" + b + "^" + "{" + (i) + "}" + (If[i ≟ r, "}", ""]) + (If[i < n, "+", ""]), i, 0, n, 1]]), A, false, true) → textlistexpandbinomline1
Text("=" + (Sum[Sequence[If[i ≟ r, "\textcolor{red}\underline{", ""] + (If[Binomial[n, i] ≟ 1, "", "" + (Binomial[n, i])]) + (If[n - i < 1, "", "" + a]) + "^" + "{" + (If[n - i < 2, "", "" + (n - i)]) + "}" + (If[i < 1, "", "" + b]) + "^" + "{" + (If[i < 2, "", "" + (i)]) + "}" + (If[i ≟ r, "}", ""]) + (If[i < n, "+", ""]), i, 0, n, 1]]), B, false, true) → textlistexpandbinomline2
