Manipal MET2022MathematicsBinomial Theorem
The coefficient of the middle term in the binomial expansion in powers of x of (1+ x)^4 and (1- x)^6 is the same, if is equal to
Options
- A- 5 3
- B10 3
- C- 3 10
- D3 5
Correct answer
C. - 3 10
Step-by-step solution
The coefficient of the middle term in power of x(1+ x)^4= ^4 C₂ ^2 The coefficient of the middle term in power of x(1- x)^6= ^6 C₃(- )^3 According to given condition, array rlrl & & ^4 C₂ ^2 & = ^6 C₃(- )^3 & 4! 2!2! ^2 & =- 6! 3!3! ^3 & 6 ^2 & =-20 ^3 & & =- 6 20 & & & =- 3 10 array
