JEE Main2003MathematicsBinomial TheoremActual
If x is positive, the first negative term in the expansion of (1+x)^ 27 / 5 is
Options
- A6th term
- B7th term
- C5th term
- D8th term
Correct answer
D. 8th term
Step-by-step solution
T_ r+1 = n(n-1)(n-2) (n-r+1) r ! (x)^r For first negative term, n-r+1 32 5 r =7 . Therefore, first negative term is T ₈ .
