Manipal MET2010MathematicsBinomial Theorem
The constant term in the expansion of (1+x)^m (1+ 1 x )^n is
Options
- Am+n m-1
- B^ m+n C_n
- Cm+n m-n
- DNone of these
Correct answer
B. ^ m+n C_n
Step-by-step solution
We have, (1+x)^m (1+ 1 x )^n=(1+x)^m ( x+1 x )^n= (1+x)^ m+n x^n =x^ -n (1+x)^ m+n Required term independent of x= Coefficient of x^0 in x^ -n (1+x)^ m+n = Coefficient of x^n in (1+x)^ m+n = ^ m+n C_n
