COMEDK2024MathematicsBinomial Theorem
The coefficient of x^6 in the expansion of (1+x^2+2 x )¹⁰ is
Options
- A¹⁰ C₆
- B¹⁰ C₅^6
- C¹⁰ C₃
- D²⁰ C₆
Correct answer
D. ²⁰ C₆
Step-by-step solution
We have, (1+x^2+2 x )¹⁰= [(1+x)^2 ]^0=(1+x)²⁰ General term of (x+y)^n= ^" C_r(x)^ n-r (y)^r T_ r+1 = ²⁰ C_r(1)^ 20-r (x)^r= ²⁰ C_r(x)^r To find coefficient of x^6 we need to put r=6 Coefficient of x^6= ²⁰ C₆
