What is the number of non-zero terms in the expansion of (1+2 3 x)¹¹+(1-2 3 x)¹¹ (after simplification)?
Options
- A4
- B5
- C6
- D11
Correct answer
C. 6
Step-by-step solution
We know, in the expansion of (x+y)^n+(x-y)^n , of n = even, then number of non zero terms is n 2 +1 n = odd, then number of non zero terms in n +1 2 . Here, n =11 which is odd. number of non zero terms = 11+1 2 =6 .
