AP EAMCET2009MathematicsBinomial Theorem
For |x| < 1 , the constant term in the expansion of 1 (x-1)^2(x-2) is
Options
- A2
- B1
- C0
- D- 1 2
Correct answer
D. - 1 2
Step-by-step solution
aligned 1 (x-1)^2(x-2) & = 1 -2(1-x)^2 (1- x 2 ) & =- 1 2 [(1-x)⁻² (1- x 2 )⁻¹ ] & =- 1 2 [(1+2 x+ ) (1+ x 2 + ) ] aligned Coefficient of constant term is - 1 2 .
