10. The general term of (x + y)^n is given by:
Answer:
Explanation:
It's derived from the binomial theorem's expansion.
11. If the coefficients of 2nd and 3rd terms in the expansion of (1 + x)^n are equal, then n is:
Answer:
Explanation:
For 2nd and 3rd terms to be equal, nC1 = nC2. This gives n = 5.
12. The coefficient of x^5 in the expansion of (1 + x)^9 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
It's given by 9C5 = 84.
13. The term independent of x in the expansion of (x + 1/x)^6 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
It's given by 6C3 * x^3 * (1/x)^3 = 15.
14. The binomial expansion of (a – b)^3 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the binomial expansion formula.
15. The sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (x – y)^7 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
If we put x = 1 and y = 1, the sum becomes 2^7. Each term's coefficient when added gives 128, but half are subtracted out.
16. The coefficient of x^2 in (1 + x)^7 – (1 – x)^7 is:
Answer:
Explanation:
From (1 + x)^7, coefficient of x^2 is 7C2 and from (1 – x)^7 it's -7C2. The difference is 2*7C2 = 70.
