|x| < 1 , the coefficient of x^3 in the expansion of (1+x+x^2 ) in ascending powers of x , is
Options
- A2 3
- B4 3
- C- 2 3
- D- 4 3
Correct answer
C. - 2 3
Step-by-step solution
We have, (1+x+x^2 )= (1-x^3 ) (1-x) aligned & = (1-x^3 )- (1-x) & =- [x^3+ x^6 2 + x^9 3 + ]+ [x+ x^2 2 + x^3 3 + ] & Coefficient of x^3=-1+ 1 3 =- 2 3 aligned
