What are the different counting techniques
The Pascal's triangle is used partly to determine the coefficients of a binomial expression. It is also used to find the number of combinations taken n at a time of m things .
Pascal was most famous for Pascal's triangle. He also invented the 1st mechanical calculator. The Pascal's Triangle is a pattern where you add the adjacent numbers from the previous line. See related link for more info.
It is used for lots of things such as finding out the total possible outcomes of tossing coins. You find the line that corresponds with how many coins you toss and add all the numbers in that line to get the number of possible outcomes also you can use it to find combinations and permutations and triangular numbers
If the top row of Pascal's triangle is "1 1", then the nth row of Pascals triangle consists of the coefficients of x in the expansion of (1 + x)n.
