Section 10.2 Use Combination and the Binomial Theorem
You learned in section 10.1 that order was important for some counting problems.
Today we learn about the selection of r objects from a group of n objects were the order
combination
is not important, and this is called a _______________.
Combinations Of n Objects Taken r At A Time
The number of combinations of r objects taken from a group of n distinct
objects is denoted by:
nC r 
Example 1:
n
 n  r ! r !
You are picking 7 books from a stack of 32. If the order of the books you
choose is not important, How many different 7 book groups are possible?

When finding the number of ways both an Event A and an Event B can occur, you need
multiply
to ___________.

Example 3:
The local movie rental store is having a special on new releases. The new
releases consist of 12 comedies, 8 action, 7 drama, 5 suspense, and 9 family
movies. You can afford at most 2 movies. How many movie combinations

Counting problems that involve phrases like “at least” or “ at most” are sometimes easier
subtracting possibilities you do not want from the total number of
to solve by ____________
possibilities.

If we would arrange the values of nCr in a triangular pattern in which each row
corresponds to a value n, you get what is called _________________.
Pascal’s Triangle
Pascal’s Triangle is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623-1662).

There is an important relationship between powers of binomials and combinations. The
numbers in Pascal’s Triangle can be used to find coefficients in binomial expansions.
Example: The coefficients in the expansion of (a + b)4 are the numbers of combinations

in the row of Pascal’s triangle for n = ______.
(a + b)4 =
4C0 a
4 b0
+ 4C1 a3b + 4C2 a2b2 + 4C3 ab3 + 4C4 b4
