How many rational terms are contained in the expansion of

a) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[4]{3})^{100}\);

b) \((\sqrt 2 + \sqrt[3]{3})^{300}\)?

How many six-digit numbers exist, for which each succeeding number is smaller than the previous one?

Why are the equalities \(11^2 = 121\) and \(11^3 = 1331\) similar to the lines of Pascal’s triangle? What is \(11^4\) equal to?

Calculate the following sums:

a) \(\binom{5}{0} + 2\binom{5}{1} + 2^2\binom{5}{2} + \dots +2^5\binom{5}{5}\);

b) \(\binom{n}{0} - \binom{n}{1} + \dots + (-1)^n\binom{n}{n}\);

c) \(\binom{n}{0} + \binom{n}{1} + \dots + \binom{n}{n}\).

Show that any natural number \(n\) can be uniquely represented in the form \(n = \binom{x}{1} + \binom{y}{2} + \binom{z}{3}\) where \(x, y, z\) are integers such that \(0 \leq x < y < z\), or \(0 = x = y < z\).

Find \(m\) and \(n\) knowing the relation \(\binom{n+1}{m+1}: \binom{n+1}{m}:\binom{n+1}{m-1} = 5:5:3\).

Which term in the expansion \((1 + \sqrt 3)^{100}\) will be the largest by the Newton binomial formula?

How many four-digit numbers can be made using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, if:

a) no digit is repeated more than once;

b) the repetition of digits is allowed;

c) the numbers should be odd and there should not be any repetition of digits?
