Query 11.4.6 Find C(9,6) on Pascal's triangle.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Row 9 go over 7 =84

** You need to go to the n=9 row, the r=6 position, which is the 10th row and the 7th number in the row. Looks like you went to the 6th position.

Note that C(9,6) = 9! / ( 6! (6-3)! ) = 9*8*7 / (3*2*1) = 3 * 4 * 7 = 84 does agree with the number in the n = 9 row and the r = 6 position. Note also that since the first row is row 0 and the first element in every row is element 0, the n = 9 row is the 10th row, and the r = 6 position is the 7th number from the left. **

My book doesn't have a 42 for section 11.4

**(x + y ) ^ 8

= x^8 + C(8,1) x^7 y + C(8,2) x^6 y^2 + C(8,3) x^5 y^3 + C(8,4) x^4 y^4 + C(8,5) x^3 y^5 + C(8,6) x^2 y^6 + C(8,7) x^7 y + y^8

= x^8 + 8 x^7 y + 28 x^6 y^2 + 56 x^5 y^3 + 70 x^4 y^4 + 56 x^3 y^5 + 28 x^2 y^6 + 8 x y^7 + y^8. **

I'm a little concerned that my book is different, because sometimes the numbers are off or I don't have the question at all. I also noticed that one of the sections listed to do is 12.6, but my book dosen't have this. I bought the book from the bookstore.

I've made myself a note to review the correspondences with the text. I think on the whole they are OK, but I might have missed something with the latest edition.
