A binomial is a mathematical expression consisting of two terms connected by addition or subtraction. It is commonly written in the form (a + b) or (a – b), where ‘a’ and ‘b’ represent numerical coefficients or variables.
Binomials are fundamental in algebra and polynomial mathematics, and they play a key role in the binomial theorem.
This theorem provides a formula for expanding powers of binomials, facilitating the simplification of complex algebraic expressions and solving various mathematical problems involving factors raised to a power.
