Simplify a (a2 + a + 1) + 5 and find its value for a = 1.

Consider \(\begin{array}{l}\mathbf{a}\left(\mathbf{a}^{2}+\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{1}\right)+\mathbf{5} \\ =\mathbf{a}^{3}+\mathbf{a}^{2}+\mathbf{a}+\mathbf{5} \\ \text { At } \mathbf{a}=\mathbf{1} \\ =\mathbf{1}^{3}+\mathbf{1}^{2}+\mathbf{1}+\mathbf{5} \\ =\mathbf{1}+\mathbf{1}+\mathbf{1}+\mathbf{5} \\ =\mathbf{8} \end{array} \)

If nC8 = nC2 find nC2.

The given expression is of the form of \(\begin{array}{l}\begin{array} { }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{a}}={ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathbf{C}_{\mathrm{b}} \Rightarrow \mathbf{a}=\mathbf{b} \text { or }... View Article
