This document discusses binomial expansion, which is a method for expanding binomials like (x + a)^n without lengthy multiplication. It introduces key concepts like Pascal's triangle for finding coefficients and the binomial theorem for determining the general pattern of terms in the expansion. Examples are worked through to demonstrate expanding specific binomials like (2x - 3y)^6 according to this method.
THE BINOMIAL THEOREM shows how to calculate a power of a binomial –
(x+ y)n -- without actually multiplying out.
For example, if we actually multiplied out the 4th power of (x + y) --
(x + y)4 = (x + y) (x + y) (x + y) (x + y)
-- then on collecting like terms we would find:
(x + y)4 = x4 + 4x3y + 6x2y2 + 4xy3 + y4 . . . . . (1)

USA invades other countries just to own their natural resources and to place them in the hands of American corporations. Facebook doesn’t call that terrorism. They call it democracy. BBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, FR 24, ITV/CH 4, SKY, EURO NEWS, ITV trash Sun paper,… Facebook all are protector and preserver of the propaganda classifying IR Iran as a dangerous terrorist organization. But FB, BBC, CNN, FOX NEWS, FR 24, ITV/CH 4-SKY, EURO NEWS, ITV do know well, that USA is the biggest terrorist country in the world.
‘terrorism’ the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
"the fight against terrorism" is the fight against the unlawful use of violence and intimidation and carpet bombing.
Ever since the beginning of the 19th century, the West has been sucking on the jugular vein of the Moslem body politic like a veritable vampire whose thirst for Moslem blood is never sated and who refused to let go. Since 1979, Iran, which has always played the role of the intellectual leader of the Islamic world, has risen up to put a stop to this outrage against God’s law and will, and against all decency.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

x a x a+ = +
A binomial is a polynomial with two terms such as x + a. Often we
need to raise a binomial to a power. In this section we'll explore a
way to do just that without lengthy multiplication.

We can easily see the pattern on the x's and the a's. But what
about the coefficients? Make a guess and then as we go we'll
see how you did.

This is called Pascal's Triangle and would give us the
coefficients for a binomial expansion of any power if we
extended it far enough.
This is good for
lower powers but
could get very
large. We will
introduce some
notation to help
us and
generalise the
coefficients with
a formula based
on what was
observed here.

!The Factorial Symbol
0! = 1 1! = 1
n! = n(n-1) · . . . · 3 · 2 · 1
n must be an integer greater than or equal to 2
What this says is if you have a positive integer followed by
the factorial symbol you multiply the integer by each integer
less than it until you get down to 1.
6! = 6 · 5 · 4 · 3 · 2 · 1 = 720
Your calculator can compute factorials. The !
symbol is under the "math" menu and then "prob".
6. ( )
If and are integers with 0 ,
the symbol is defined as
!
! !
j n j n
n

n n
j j n j

÷

−
This symbol is read "n taken j at a time"
Your calculator can compute these as well. It is also under
the "math" and then "prob" menu and is usually denoted nCr
with the C meaning combinations. In probability, there are n
things to choose from and you are choosing j of them for
various combinations.

The Binomial Theorem
The x's start out to the nth power and decrease by 1 in power
each term. The a's start out to the 0 power and increase by 1
in power each term. The binomial coefficients are found by
computing the combination symbol. Also the sum of the
powers on a and x is n.
Find the 5th term of (x + a)12
5th term will have a4
(power on a is 1 less than term number)
So we'll have x8
(sum of two powers is 12)
4 812

a x

term
number
9. Here is the expansion of (x + a)12
…and the 5th term matches the term we obtained!
In this expansion, observe the following:
•Powers on a and x add up to power on binomial
•a's increase in power as x's decrease in power from
term to term.
•Powers on a are one less than the term number
•Symmetry of coefficients (i.e. 2nd term and 2nd to last term
have same coefficients, 3rd & 3rd to last etc.) so once you've
reached the middle, you can copy by symmetry rather
than compute coefficients.
10. Let's use what we've learned to expand (2x - 3y)6
First let's write out the expansion of the general (x + a)6
and
then we'll substitute.
( )
6 6 5 2 4 3 3 4 2 5 6
__ __ __ __ __x a x ax a x a x a x a x a+ = + + + + + +
these will be the same
these will be the same
Let's find the
coefficient for the
second term.
6 6! 6 5!

1 1!5! 5!

= = = ÷
Let's confirm that
this is also the
coefficient of the
2nd to last term.
6 6! 6 5!
6
5 5!1! 5!

= = = ÷
6 6
Let's find the
coefficient for the
third term.
6 6! 6 5 4!
15
2 2!4! 2 4!
× ×
= = = ÷

15
This will
also be the
coefficient of
the 3rd to
last term.

Now we'll find
the coefficient of
the 4th term
6 6! 6 5 4 3!

3 3!3! 3 2 3!

Now we'll apply this formula to our specific binomial.
Instead of x
we have 2x
Instead of a
we have -3y
