If the term independent of x in the expansion of x - k x 2 10 is 405 , then k =
Options
- A3 only
- B- 3 only
- C± 3
- D0
Correct answer
C. ± 3
Step-by-step solution
T r + 1 = 10 c r · x 10 - r 2 - k r · x - 2 r ⇒ 10 - r 2 - 2 r = 0 ⇒ 10 - r = 4 r ⇒ r = 2 T 3 = 10 c 2 ( - k ) 2 = 405 ⇒ 45 k 2 = 405 ⇒ k 2 = 9 ⇒ k = ± 3
