Question

Find the number of terms in the expansion of\[\left( a + b + c \right)^n\]

 

Solution

We have,

\[\left( a + b + c \right)^n = \left[ a + \left( b + c \right) \right]^n \]
\[ = a^n +^n C_1 a^{n - 1} \left( b + c \right)^1 +^n C_2 a^{n - 2} \left( b + c \right)^2 + . . . +^n C_n \left( b + c \right)^n\]
Further, expanding each term of R.H.S., we note that
First term consists of 1 term.
Second term on simplification gives 2 terms.
Third term on expansion gives 3 terms.
Similarly, fourth term on expansion gives 4 terms and so on.

∴ The total number of terms = 1 + 2 + 3 + .... + (n + 1) =  \[\frac{\left( n + 1 \right)\left( n + 2 \right)}{2}\]
