Pascal's Triangle and Binomial Theorem

The video tutorial introduces Pascal's Triangle, explaining its structure and patterns. It highlights how each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it and explores various patterns, such as natural numbers and triangular numbers. The tutorial also discusses the sum of each row as powers of two. Finally, it connects Pascal's Triangle to the Binomial Theorem, showing how the triangle provides binomial coefficients for polynomial expansions.

What is the basic rule for constructing Pascal's Triangle?

• Each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it.

• Each number is the product of the two numbers directly above it.

• Each number is the quotient of the two numbers directly above it.

• Each number is the difference of the two numbers directly above it.
