Manipal MET2021MathematicsBinomial Theorem
The middle term in the expansion of (x- 1 2 y )¹⁰ is
Options
- A-63 x^5 y^5
- B- 63 x^5 y^5 8
- C63 x^5 y^5
- D63 x^5 8 y^5
Correct answer
B. - 63 x^5 y^5 8
Step-by-step solution
Middle term =T₆=T_ 5+1 aligned & = ¹⁰ C₅(x)^5 (- 1 2 y )^5= 10! 5! 5! (x)^5 (-2)^5 y^5 & =- 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 2 3 2^5 x^5 y^5 & =- 63 8 x^5 y^5 aligned
