Let α be the constant term in the binomial expansion of x−x236n,n≤15. If the sum of the coefficients of the remaining terms in the expansion is 649 and the coefficient of x−n is λα, then λ is equal to ________ .
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Given,
x−x236n,n≤15
Now rth term is given by
Tr+1=Crn(x21)n−r(−6x2−3)r
⇒Tr+1=(−6)r⋅Crn⋅x2n−r⋅x2−3r
⇒Tr+1=(−6)r⋅Crn⋅x2n−4r
Now we have to take, n=4r for constant term so n is divisible by 4.
So, α=C4nn(−6)4n
And sum of all coefficients will be 1−1236n=(−5)n
