Question 15 Marks

If the 2nd, 3rd and 4th terms in the expansion of $(\text{x}+\text{a})^{\text{n}}$ are 240, 729 and 1080 respectively find x, a, n.

Answer

If the the expansion of $(\text{x}+\text{a})^{\text{n}},$ the 2nd, 3rd and 4th are ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}\text{a}^{1}, \ {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}\text{a}^{2}$ and,

According to the quation, 

 ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}\text{a}^{1}=240$

${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}\text{a}^{2}=720$

${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-3}\text{a}^{3}=1080$

Now,

$\Rightarrow \frac{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}\text{a}^{2}}{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-3}\text{a}^{3}}=\frac{720}{240}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}-1}{2\text{x}}\text{a}=3$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}=\frac{6}{\text{n}...1}\ ...(\text{i})$

Also,

$\frac{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-3}\text{a}^{3}}{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}\text{a}^{2}}=\frac{1080}{720}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}-2}{3\text{x}}\text{a}=\frac{3}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{a}}{\text{x}}=\frac{9}{2\text{n}...4}\ ...(\text{ii})$

From (i) and (ii), we get

$\frac{6}{\text{n}-1}=\frac{9}{2\text{n}-4}$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=5$

Putting in equation (i), we get

$\Rightarrow 2\text{a}=3\text{x}$

Now,

${^\text{5}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}\text{x}^{\text{5}-1}\big(\frac{\text{3}}{2}\text{x}\big)=240$

$\Rightarrow 15\text{x}^{5}=480$

$\Rightarrow \text{x}^{5}=32$

$\Rightarrow \text{x}=2$

By putting the value of x and n in (i). we get

$\text{a}=3$

Find the term independent of x in the expansion of the following expressions:

$(1+\text{x}+2\text{x}^{3})\Big(\frac{3}{2}\text{x}^{2}-\frac{1}{3\text{x}}\Big)^{9}$

Answer

$(1+\text{x}+2\text{x}^{3})\Big(\frac{3}{2}\text{x}^{2}-\frac{1}{3\text{x}}\Big)^{9}$

$(1+\text{x}+2\text{x}^{3})\bigg[\Big(\frac{3}{2}\text{x}^{2}\Big)^{9}-{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}\Big(\frac{3}{2}\text{x}^{2}\Big)^{8}\ \frac{1}{3\text{x}}.....\\ +{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\Big(\frac{3}{2}\text{x}^{2}\Big)^{3}\Big(\frac{1}{3\text{x}}\Big)^{6}-{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{7}}\Big(\frac{3}{2}\text{x}^{2}\Big)^{2}\Big(\frac{1}{3\text{x}}\Big)^{7}\bigg]$

In the second bracket, we have to search the term so x0 and $\frac{1}{\text{x}^{3}}$ which when multiplying by 1 and 2x3 is first bracket will give the term independent of x. The term containing $\frac{1}{\text{x}}$ will not occur is second bracket.

The teram independent of x,

$=1\Big[{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\frac{3^{3}}{2^{2}}\times\frac{1}{3^{6}}\Big]-2\text{x}^{3}\Big[{^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{7}}\frac{3^{3}}{2^{2}}\times\frac{1}{3^{7}}\times\frac{1}{\text{x}^{3}}\Big]$ 

$=\Big[\frac{9\times8\times7}{1\times2\times3}\times\frac{1}{8\times27}\Big]-2\Big[\frac{9\times8}{1\times2}-\frac{1}{4\times243}\Big]$

Question 55 Marks

Find the sixth term in the expansion $\Big(\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},$ if the binomial coefficient of the term from the end is 45.

Answer

In the binomial expansion of $\Big(\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},$ there are (n + 1) terms.

The third term from the end in the expansion of $\Big(\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},$  is the third term from the beginning in the expansion of  $\Big(\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}+\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}\Big)^{\text{n}}.$

The binomial coefficient of the third term from the end is 45.

$\therefore {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}=45$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)}{2}=45$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}^{2}-\text{n}-90=0$

$\Rightarrow (\text{n}-10)(\text{n}+9)=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=10$

Let T6 be the sixth term in the binomoal expansion of $\Big(\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}}.$ 

Then,

$\text{T}_{6}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{5}}\Big(\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}\Big)^{\text{n}-5}\Big(\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{5}$

$={^\text{10}}\text{C}_{\text{5}}\text{y}^{\frac{5}{2}}\text{x}^{\frac{5}{3}}$

$=252\text{y}^{\frac{5}{2}}\text{x}^{\frac{5}{3}}$

Hence, the sixth term in the expansion of $\Big(\text{y}^{\frac{1}{2}}+\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},$ is $252\text{y}^{\frac{5}{2}}\text{x}^{\frac{5}{3}}.$

$={^5\text{C}}_0\times100^5-{^5\text{C}}_1\times100^4\times2+{^5\text{C}}_2\times100^3\times4\\-{^5\text{C}}_3\times100^2\times8+{^5\text{C}}_4\times100\times16-{^5\text{C}}_5\times32$

$=100^5-10\times100^4+40\times100^3-80\times100^2+80\times100-32$

$=10000000000-1000000000+40000000-800000+8000-32$

$=10040008000-1000800032$

Question 75 Marks

Find the middle terms(s) in the expansion of:

$\Big(2\text{x}-\frac{\text{x}^{2}}{4}\Big)^{9}$

Answer

$\Big(2\text{x}-\frac{\text{x}^{2}}{4}\Big)^{9}$

Here, n is an odd number.

Therefore, the middle terms are $\Big(\frac{\text{n+1}}{2}\Big)$ and $\Big(\frac{\text{n+1}}{2}+1\Big)$ 5th and 6th terms.

Now, we have,

$\text{T}_{5}=\text{T}_{4+1}$

$={^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}(2\text{x})^{9-4}\big(\frac{-\text{x}^{2}}{4}\big)^{4}$

$=\frac{9\times8\times7\times6}{4\times3\times2}\times2^{5}\frac{1}{4^{4}}\text{x}^{5+8}$

Question 95 Marks

If a, b, c and d in any binomial expansion be the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th terms respectively, then prove that $\frac{\text{b}^{2}-\text{ac}}{\text{c}^{2}-\text{bd}}=\frac{4\text{a}}{3\text{c}}.$

Answer

T6 = a

T7 = b

T8 = c

T9 = d

We have, (x + 1)n

Then,

$\frac{\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}}{\text{T}_{\text{r}}}=\frac{\text{n-r}+1}{\text{r}}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}$

Put r = 6,

$\frac{\text{T}_7}{\text{T}_6}=\frac{\text{n}-6+1}{6}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{n}-5}{6}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\ \dots(\text{a})$

Put r = 7

$\frac{\text{T}_8}{\text{T}_7}=\frac{\text{n}-7+1}{7}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{n}-6}{7}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}\ \dots(\text{b})$

Put r = 8

$\frac{\text{T}_9}{\text{T}_8}=\frac{\text{n}-8+1}{8}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{n}-7}{7}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{c}}\ \dots(\text{c})$

Now,

$\frac{\text{b}^{2}-\text{ac}}{\text{c}^{2}-\text{bd}}=\frac{4\text{a}}{3\text{c}}$

Divide by bc in L.H.S, we get

$\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{\text{b}^{2}}{\text{bc}}-\frac{\text{ac}}{\text{bc}}}{\frac{\text{c}^{2}}{\text{bc}}-\frac{\text{bd}}{\text{bc}}}=\frac{4\text{a}}{3\text{c}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}-\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}}{\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}-\frac{\text{d}}{\text{c}}}=\frac{4\text{a}}{3\text{c}}$

Take L.H.S

By Equation (a), (b), (c)

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\frac{7\text{x}}{\text{n}-6}-\frac{6\text{x}}{\text{n}-5}}{\frac{\text{n}-6}{7\text{x}}-\frac{\text{n}-7}{8\text{x}}}$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{x}\Big[\frac{7}{\text{n}-6}-\frac{6}{\text{n}-5}\Big]}{\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big[\frac{\text{n}-6}{7}-\frac{\text{n}-7}{8}\Big]}$

$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}^2\Bigg[\frac{\text{n}-35-6\text{n}+36}{\big(\text{n}-6\big)\big(\text{n}-5\big)}\Bigg]\times\frac{56}{8\text{n}-48-7\text{n}+49}$

On solving this, we get

$\frac{56\text{x}^2}{\big(\text{n}-6\big)\big(\text{n}-5\big)}\ \dots(\text{X})$

On Taking R.H.S

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{4\text{a}}{3\text{c}}=\frac{4}{3}\Big(\frac{\text{a}}{\text{b}}\times\frac{\text{b}}{\text{c}}\Big)$

On putting the values from equation (a), (b), (c)

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{4}{3}\Big[\frac{6\text{x}}{\text{n}-5}\times\frac{7\text{x}}{\text{n}-6}\Big]$

$\frac{56\text{x}^2}{\big(\text{n}-6\big)\big(\text{n}-5\big)}\ \dots(\text{Y})$

By equation X and Y, it is proved that

L.H.S = R.H.S

$=\Big[1+8\text{a}+24\text{a}^{2}+32\text{a}^{3}+16\text{a}^{4}\Big]\times\Big[32-80\text{a}+80\text{a}^{2}-40\text{a}^{3}+10\text{a}^{4}-\text{a}^{5}\Big]$

Question 125 Marks

If the coefficients of three consecutive terms in the expansion of $(1+\text{x})^{\text{n}}$ be 76, 95 and 76, find n.

Answer

We have,

$(1+\text{x})^{\text{n}}$

Suppose r, (r + 1) and (r + 2) are three consecutive terms in the given expansion.

The coefficirnts of these terms are ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1},{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}, {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}+1}.$

Coefficients of rth terms $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1}=76$

Coefficients of (r + 1) terms $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}=95$

Coefficients of (r + 2) terms $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1}=76$

$\Rightarrow {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}+1}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r}-1+\text{r}+1=\text{n}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r}=\frac{\text{n}}{2}$

Now,

$\therefore \frac{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}}{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1}}=\frac{96}{76}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}-\text{r}+1}{\text{r}}=\frac{95}{76}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{\text{n}}{2}+1}{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}=\frac{95}{76}$

$\Rightarrow 38\text{n}+76=\frac{95\text{n}}{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{19\text{n}}{2}=76$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=8$

If the seventh term from the beginning and in the binomial expansion of $\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}}$ are equal, is the 7th term from the end.

Answer

In the binomial expansion of $\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},\big[(\text{n}+1)-7+1\big]^\text{th}\text{i.e.,}\ (\text{n}-5)^{\text{th}}$ term from the beginning is the 7th term from the end.

Now,

$\text{T}_{7}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}\Big)^{\text{n}-6}\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{6}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}\times\frac{1}{3^{2}}$

And,

$\text{T}_{\text{n}-5}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{n}-6}\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}\Big)^{6}\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}-6}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{2}\times\frac{1}{3^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}}$

It is given that,

$\text{T}_{7}=\text{T}_{\text{n}-5}$

$\Rightarrow {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}\times\frac{1}{3^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{2}\times\frac{1}{3^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}}{2^{2}}=\frac{3^{2}}{3^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}}$

$\Rightarrow (6)^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}=6^{2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}}{3}-2=2$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=12$

Hence, the value of n is 12.

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{r}-1}{\text{n}-\text{r}+2}=\frac{4}{9}$

$\Rightarrow 4\text{n}+17=13\text{r}\ ...(\text{i})$

Also,

$\therefore \frac{​{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}}{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1}}=\frac{792}{495}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}-\text{r}-1}{\text{r}}=\frac{8}{5}$

$\Rightarrow 5\text{n}-5\text{r}+5=8\text{r}$

$\Rightarrow 5\text{n}+5=13\text{r}$

$\Rightarrow 5\text{n}+5=4\text{n}+17$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=12$

Question 205 Marks

The coefficients of 5th, 6th and 7th terms in the expansion of $(1+\text{x})^{\text{n}}$ are in A.P., find n.

Answer

We have,

$(1+\text{x})^{\text{n}}$

Now,

Coefficient of 5th term $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{5}-1}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}$

Coefficient of 5th term $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}-1}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{5}}$

Coefficient of 5th term $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{7}-1}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}$

It is given that these coefficients are in A.P.

$\therefore\ 2\ {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{5}}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}+{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}$

$\Rightarrow 2\Big[\frac{\text{n}!}{(\text{n}-5)!5!}\Big]=\frac{\text{n}!}{(\text{n}-4)!4!}+\frac{\text{n}!}{(\text{n}-6)!6!}$

$\Rightarrow\ \frac{2}{(\text{n}-5)!5!}=\frac{1}{(\text{n}-4)!4!}+\frac{1}{(\text{n}-6)!6!}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{(\text{n}-5)(\text{n}-6)!5\times4!}=\frac{1}{(\text{4})(\text{n}-5)(\text{n}-6)!4!}+\frac{1}{(\text{n}-6)!6\times5\times4!}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{(\text{n}-5)\times5}=\frac{1}{(\text{n}-4)(\text{n}-5)}+\frac{1}{6\times5}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{5(\text{x}-5)}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{(\text{n}-4)(\text{n}-5)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{12-(\text{n}-5)}{30(\text{n}-5)}=\frac{1}{(\text{n}-4)(\text{n}-5)}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{17-\text{n}}{30}=\frac{1}{(\text{n}-4)}$

$\Rightarrow 17\text{n}-68-\text{n}^{2}+4\text{n}=30$

$\Rightarrow 21\text{n}-68-\text{m}^{2}-30=0$

$\Rightarrow 21\text{n}-\text{n}^{2}-98=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}^{2}-21\text{n}+98=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}^{2}-7\text{n}-14\text{n}+98=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}(\text{n}-7)-17(\text{n}-7)=0$

$\Rightarrow (\text{n}-7)(\text{n}-14)=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=7, \text{n}=14$

Question 215 Marks

Find the term independent of x in the expansion of the following expressions:

$\Big(\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}}\Big)^{18}, \text{x}>2$

Answer

We have,

$\Big(\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{2\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}}\Big)^{18}, \text{x}>0$

Let (r + 1)th term be independent of x.

$\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\big(\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}\big)^{18-\text{r}}+\Big(\frac{1}{2\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

$={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\Big((\text{x}^\frac{1}{3})\Big)^{18-\text{r}}\times\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{\text{r}}\times\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}\frac{1}{3}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

$={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(\text{x})^{\frac{18-\text{r}}{3}}\times\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

$={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(\text{x})^{\frac{18-\text{r}}{3}}\times\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

If it is independent of x, we must have

$\Rightarrow \frac{18-2\text{r}}{3}=0$

$\Rightarrow 18=2\text{r}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r}=9$

Terem independent of x = T9+1 = T10

Now,

$\text{T}_{10}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{9}}\big(\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}\big)^{18-9}\Big(\frac{1}{2\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}}\Big)^{9}$

$={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{9}}\big(\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}\big)^{9}\times\frac{1}{2^{9}}\times\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{\text{x}}}\Big)^{9}$

$=\frac{{^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{9}}}{2^{9}}$

Question 225 Marks

Find n in the binomial $\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},$ if the ratio of 7th term from the beginning to the 7th term form the end is $\frac{1}{6}.$

Answer

In the binomial expansion of $\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}+\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}},\big[(\text{n}+1)-7+1\big]^\text{th}\text{i.e.,}\ (\text{n}-5)^{\text{th}}$ term from the beginning is the 7th term from the end.

Now,

$\text{T}_{7}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}\Big)^{\text{n}-6}\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{6}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}\times\frac{1}{3^{2}}$

And,

$\text{T}^{\text{n}-5}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{n}-6}\Big(\sqrt[3]{2}\Big)^{6}\Big(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}}\Big)^{\text{n}-6}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{2}\times\frac{1}{3^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}}$

It is given that,

$\frac{\text{T}^{7}}{\text{T}^{\text{n}-5}}=\frac{1}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}\times\frac{1}{3^{2}}}{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\times2^{2}\times\frac{1}{3^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2}}}=\frac{1}{6}$

$\Rightarrow 2^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2-2}\times3^{\frac{\text{n}}{3}-2-2}=\frac{1}{6}$

$\Rightarrow \Big(\frac{1}{6}\Big)^{4-\frac{\text{n}}{3}}=\frac{1}{6}$

$\Rightarrow 4-\frac{\text{n}}{3}=1$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=9$

Hence, the vaue of n is 9.

Question 235 Marks

Find the term independent of x in the expansion of the following expressions:

$\Big(2\text{x}+\frac{1}{3\text{x}^{2}}\Big)^{9}$

Answer

Suppose the (r + 1)th term in the given expression in independent of x.

Now,

$\Big(2\text{x}+\frac{1}{3\text{x}^{2}}\Big)^{9}$

$\text{T}_{\text{r+1}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\big(2\text{x})^{9-\text{r}}\Big(\frac{1}{3\text{x}^{2}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

$={^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}.\frac{2^{9-\text{r}}}{3^{\text{r}}}\ \text{x}^{\text{9-r}}\Big(\frac{1}{3\text{x}^{2}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

For ths term to be independent of x, we must have

9 - 36 = 0

⇒ r = 3

Hence, the required term is the 4th term.

Now, we have

${^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{3}} \frac{2^{6}}{3^{3}}$

$={^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}\times\frac{64}{27}$

Answer

For the given binomial expansion = 9.

So middle term are $\Big(\frac{9+1}{2}\Big)=5^{\text{th}}$ and $\Big(\frac{9+3}{2}\Big)=6^{\text{th}}$

$\text{T}_{\text{5}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}\Big(\frac{\text{p}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{9-4}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{p}}\Big)^{4}$

$\text{T}_{\text{5}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}\Big(\frac{\text{p}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{5}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{p}}\Big)^{4}$

$\text{T}_{\text{5}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}\Big(\frac{\text{p}}{\text{x}}\Big)$

$\text{T}_{\text{5}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{5}}\Big(\frac{\text{p}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{9-5}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{p}}\Big)^{5}$

$\text{T}_{\text{5}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{5}}\Big(\frac{\text{p}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{4}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{p}}\Big)^{5}$

$\text{T}_{\text{6}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{5}}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{p}}\Big)$

$\text{T}_{\text{6}}=\frac{126}{\text{x}}$

The middle terms are $\frac{126}{\text{x}}.$

Question 305 Marks

If the term from x in the expansion of $\Big(\sqrt{\text{x}}-\frac{\text{k}}{\text{x}^{2}}\Big)^{10}$ is 405, find the value of k.

Answer

Let (r + 1)th term, in the expansion of $\Big(\sqrt{\text{x}}-\frac{\text{k}}{\text{x}^{2}}\Big)^{10},$ be free from x and be equal to Tr+1.

Then,

$\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}={^\text{10}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(\sqrt{\text{x}})^{10-\text{r}}\Big(\frac{-\text{k}}{\text{x}^{\text{2}}}\Big)^{\text{r}}={^\text{10}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\text{x}^{5-\frac{5\text{r}}{2}}(-\text{k})^{\text{r}}\ ...(\text{i}) $

If Tr+1 is independent of x, then

$5-\frac{5\text{r}}{2}=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{r}=2$

Putting r = 2 in (i), we obtain

$\text{T}_{3}={^\text{10}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}(-\text{k})^{2}=45\text{k}^{2}$

But it is given that the value of the term free x is 405.

$\therefore 45\text{k}^{2}=405$

$\Rightarrow \text{k}^{2}=9$

 $\Rightarrow \text{k}^{2}=\pm3$

Hence, the value of k is $\pm3.$

$\Big(\frac{3\text{x}^{2}}{2}-\frac{1}{3\text{x}}\Big)^{9}$

Answer

$\text{T}_{\text{r+1}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\Big(\frac{3\text{x}^{2}}{2}\Big)^{9-\text{r}}\Big(\frac{-1}{3\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

$= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^{9-\text{r}}\big(\text{x}^{18-2\text{r}}\big)\Big(\frac{-1}{3}\Big)^{\text{r}}\text{x}^{-\text{r}}$

Let $\text{T}_{\text{r+1}}$ be independent of x.

18 - 3r = 0 or r = 6

$\therefore$ Required term,

 $\text{T}_{\text{r+1}}=\text{T}_{\text{6+1}}=\text{T}_{\text{7}}= {^\text{9}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}\Big(\frac{3}{2}\Big)^{9-\text{6}}\Big(\frac{-1}{3}\Big)^{\text{6}}\text{x}^{18-3(6)}$

$=84\Big(\frac{27}{8}\Big)\Big(\frac{1}{179}\Big)\text{x}^{0}=\frac{7}{18}$

Question 365 Marks

Prove that the term independent of x in the expansion of $\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{2\text{n}}$ is $\frac{1,3,5.....(2\text{n}-1)}{\text{n}!}.2^{\text{n}}.$

Answer

We have,

$\Big(\text{x}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{2\text{n}}$

Let $(\text{r}+1)^{\text{2n}}$ term be independent of x.

$\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}={^\text{2n}\text{C}}_\text{r}(\text{x})^{\text{2n}-\text{r}}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

$={^\text{2n}\text{C}}_\text{r}(\text{x})^{\text{2n}-\text{r}-\text{r}}$

$={^\text{2n}\text{C}}_\text{r}(\text{x})^{\text{2n}-\text{2r}}$

If it is independent of x, we must have,

$2\text{n}-2\text{r}=0$

$\Rightarrow 2\text{n}=2\text{r}$

$\Rightarrow \text{r}=\text{n}$

Term independent of $\text{x}=\text{T}_{\text{n+1}}$

$={^\text{2n}\text{C}}_\text{n}$

$=\frac{(2\text{n})!}{(2\text{n}-\text{n})!\text{n}!}$

$=\frac{(2\text{n})!}{\text{n}!\text{n}!}$

$=\frac{(2\text{n})(2\text{n}-1)(2\text{n}-2)....5\times4\times3\times2\times1}{\text{n}!\text{n}!}$

$=\frac{1\times3\times5\times.....(2\text{n}-1)(2\times4\times6\times...2\text{n})}{\text{n!}\text{n}!}$

$=\frac{1\times3\times5\times.....(2\text{n}-1)\ \times\ 2^{\text{n}}(1\times2\times3\times...\text{n})}{\text{n!}\text{n}!}$

$=2^{\text{n}}\times\frac{(1\times3\times5\times....(2\text{n}-1))}{\text{n}!}$

The Term independent to $\text{x}=2^{\text{n}}\times\frac{(1\times3\times5\times....(2\text{n}-1))}{\text{n}!}$ 

Hence proved.

Question 375 Marks

Find the middle terms(s) in the expansion of:

$\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{2\text{n}+1}$

Answer

$\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{2\text{n}+1}$

2n + 1 is odd hence this expansion will have 2n + 2 = even terms.

Hence, middle terms is $\frac{2\text{n}+1}{2}=\text{n+1},\text{n+2}$

Term formula is,

$\text{T}_{\text{n}}=\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=(-1)^{r}\ {^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\text{x}^{\text{n-r}}\ \text{y}^{\text{r}}$

$\text{T}_{\text{n+1}}=\text{T}_{\text{n}+1}=(-1)^{\text{n}}\ {^\text{2n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{n}}\text{x}^{\text{2n+1}}\ \Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{n}}$

$=(-1)^{\text{n}}\ {^\text{2n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{n}}\ \text{x}^{\text{n+1-n}}$

$=(-1)^{\text{n}}\ {^\text{2n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{n}}\text{x}$

$\text{T}_{\text{n+2}}=\text{T}_{\text{n}+1+1}=(-1)^{\text{n}}\ {^\text{2n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{n+1}}\text{x}^{\text{2n+1}-\text{n-1}}\ \Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{n+1}}$

$=(-1)^{\text{n+1}}\ {^\text{2n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{n+1}}\frac{1}{\text{x}}$

$=(-1)^{\text{n+1}}\ {^\text{2n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{n}}\frac{1}{\text{x}}$

Question 415 Marks

Find a, b and n in the expansion of $(\text{a}+\text{b})^{\text{n}},$ if the first three terms in the expansion are 729, 7290 and 30375 respectively.

Answer

We have,

T1 = 729, T2 = 7290 and T3 = 30375

According to the quation, 

 ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{0}}\text{a}^{\text{n}}\text{b}^{0}=729$

$\Rightarrow \text{a}^{\text{n}}=729$

$\Rightarrow \text{a}^{\text{n}}=3^{6}$

${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}\text{a}^{\text{n}-1}\text{b}^{1}=7290$

${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}\text{a}^{2}=30375$

Also,

$\Rightarrow \frac{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2}\text{a}^{2}}{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-1}\text{a}^{1}}=\frac{30375}{7290}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}-1}{2}\times\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{25}{6}\ ...(\text{i})$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\big(\text{n}-1\big)\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{25}{3}$

And,

$\frac{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}\text{a}^{\text{n}-1}\text{b}^{1}}{{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{0}}\text{a}^{\text{n}}\text{b}^{0}}=\frac{7290}{729}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}\text{b}}{\text{a}}=\frac{10}{1}\ ...(\text{ii})$

On dividing (ii) by (i), we get

$\frac{\frac{\text{nd}}{\text{a}}}{\frac{(\text{n}-1)\text{b}}{\text{a}}}=\frac{10\times3}{25}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\text{n}}{\text{n}-1}=\frac{6}{5}$

$\Rightarrow \text{n}=6$

Since, $\text{a}^{6}=3^{6}$

Hence, $\text{a}=3$

Now,

$\frac{\text{nb}}{\text{a}}=10$

$\Rightarrow \text{b}=5$

Question 445 Marks

The coefficients of 2nd, 3rd and 4th terms in the expansion of $(1+\text{x})^{2\text{n}}$ are in A.P., then show that $2\text{n}^{2}-9\text{n}+7=0.$

Answer

We have,

$(1+\text{x})^{\text{2n}}$

Now,

Coefficient of 2nd term $={^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}-1}={^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}$

Coefficient of 3rd term $={^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{3}-1}={^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}$

Coefficient of 4th term $={^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{4}-1}={^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}$

It is given that these coefficients are in A.P.

$\therefore\ 2\ {^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}={^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}+{^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}$

$\Rightarrow 2=\frac{{^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}}{{^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}}+\frac{{^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}}{{^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}}$

$\Rightarrow\ 2=\frac{2}{2\text{n}-2+1}+\frac{2\text{n}-3+1}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2=\frac{6+(2\text{n}+1)(2\text{n}-2)}{3(2\text{n}-1)}$

$\Rightarrow 6(2\text{n}-1)=6+4\text{n}^{2}-4\text{n}-2\text{n}+2$

$\Rightarrow 12\text{n}-6=8+4\text{n}^{2}-6\text{n}$

$\Rightarrow 4\text{n}^{2}-6\text{n}-12\text{n}+8+6=0$

$\Rightarrow 4\text{n}^{2}-18\text{n}+14=0$

$\Rightarrow 2(2\text{n}^{2}-9\text{n}+7)=0$

$\Rightarrow 2\text{n}^{2}-9\text{n}+7=0$

Hence proved.

Question 455 Marks

If the coefficients of (2r + 4)th and (r - 2)th teram in the expansion of (1 + x)18 are equal, find r.

Answer

We know that the coefficient of rth term in the expansion of $(1+\text{x}){^\text{n}}$ is ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1}$

Coefficient of (2r + 4)th term of the expansion $(1+\text{x})^{18}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{2r}+4-1}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{2r}+3}$

Coefficient of (r - 2)th term of the expansion $(1+\text{x})^{18}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-2-1}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-3}$

It is given that these coefficients are equal.

$\Rightarrow {^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{2r}+3}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}-3}$

$\Rightarrow 2\text{r}+3=\text{r}-3$ or $2\text{r}+3+\text{r}-3=18$

$\Rightarrow \text{r}=-6$ or $\text{r}=6$
