(v) Powers of ?? decreasing by 1 and powers of ?? increasing by 1 in subsequent terms 
(vi) In any term suffix of binomial coefficient is power of ?? 
(a) Replacing ?? with -?? in the expansion of (?? + ?? )

General term in the expansion of (?? + ?? )
?? 
The (?? + 1)
th 
 term = ?? ?? +1
 is called the general term. 
?? ?? +1
= 
?? ?? ?? ?? ?? -?? ?? ?? 
  
 
 
Middle term in the expansion of (?? + ?? )
?? 
Case 1. ?? = ?? ?? ; ?? ? ?? 
Then, number of terms in the expansion = ?? + 1 = 2?? + 1; 
Thus middle term is ?? ?? +1
 
i.e. (
?? 2
+ 1)
?? h
 term 
?? ?? +1
= 
?? ?? ?? 2
?? ?? 2
· ?? ?? 2
 
Case 2. ?? = ?? ?? + ?? ; ?? ? ?? 
Then, number of terms in the expansion = ?? + 1 = 2?? + 2. 
There are two middle terms, viz. ?? ?? +1
 and ?? ?? +2
. 
i.e. (
?? +1
2
)
?? h
 and (
?? +3
2
)
?? h
 term 
?? ?? +1
= 
?? ?? ?? -1
