The term independent of (x)(x) in the expansion of (1−2x)2(1-2x)^2 is

  1. Expand the expression (1−2x)2(1-2x)^2.

    (1−2x)2=(1)2−2(1)(2x)+(2x)2(1-2x)^2 = (1)^2 - 2(1)(2x) + (2x)^2 =1−4x+4x2= 1 - 4x + 4x^2
  2. Identify the term independent of xx.

    The term independent of xx is the constant term.
    In the expansion 1−4x+4x21 - 4x + 4x^2, the constant term is 1.

    The term independent of xx is 1\boxed{\text{1}}.
    Since 1 is not among options a) 15, b) -15, c) 32, d) -32, the correct option is e) None of the above.

Part 28· 2 steps

In the expansion of (a−b)n(a-b)^n, the sum of the coefficients is

  1. To find the sum of coefficients of a polynomial, substitute 1 for each variable.

    For the expansion of (a−b)n(a-b)^n, substitute a=1a=1 and b=1b=1.
    Sum of coefficients =(1−1)n=0n= (1-1)^n = 0^n.

  2. Evaluate 0n0^n.

    If n>0n > 0, then 0n=00^n = 0. In binomial expansion, nn is typically a positive integer.

    The sum of the coefficients is 0\boxed{\text{0}}.
    This matches option a) 0.

The middle term in the expansion of (1+x)10(1+x)^{10} is

  1. Determine the number of terms in the expansion.

    For (a+b)n(a+b)^n, there are n+1n+1 terms. Here n=10n=10, so there are 10+1=1110+1=11 terms.

  2. Find the position of the middle term.

    Since there are 11 terms (an odd number), there is one middle term. Its position is n+1+12=11+12=122=6\frac{n+1+1}{2} = \frac{11+1}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6. So, it's the 6-th term.

  3. Use the general term formula Tk+1=(nk)an−kbkT_{k+1} = \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k.

    For the 6-th term, k+1=6  ⟹  k=5k+1=6 \implies k=5.
    For (1+x)10(1+x)^{10}, a=1a=1, b=xb=x, n=10n=10.

    T6=(105)(1)10−5(x)5T_6 = \binom{10}{5} (1)^{10-5} (x)^5 T6=(105)(1)5(x)5T_6 = \binom{10}{5} (1)^5 (x)^5 T6=(105)x5T_6 = \binom{10}{5} x^5

    The question asks for "the middle term", and the options are powers of xx. This implies we should identify the variable part of the middle term.

    The middle term is (105)x5\boxed{\binom{10}{5} x^5}. The variable part is x5x^5.
    This matches option a) x5x^5.

Part 30· 3 steps

The coefficient of the term containing x3x^3 in the expansion of (1−2x)−4(1-2x)^{-4} is

  1. Use the generalized binomial theorem for (1+y)n=1+ny+n(n−1)2!y2+n(n−1)(n−2)3!y3+…(1+y)^n = 1 + ny + \frac{n(n-1)}{2!}y^2 + \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}y^3 + \dots

    Here, y=−2xy = -2x and n=−4n = -4.
    We need the term containing x3x^3, which corresponds to the term with y3y^3.
    The coefficient of y3y^3 is n(n−1)(n−2)3!\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!}.

  2. Substitute n=−4n=-4 and y=−2xy=-2x into the y3y^3 term.

    The term is (−4)(−4−1)(−4−2)3!(−2x)3\frac{(-4)(-4-1)(-4-2)}{3!} (-2x)^3.

    =(−4)(−5)(−6)3×2×1(−2)3x3= \frac{(-4)(-5)(-6)}{3 \times 2 \times 1} (-2)^3 x^3 =−1206(−8)x3= \frac{-120}{6} (-8) x^3 =(−20)(−8)x3= (-20) (-8) x^3 =160x3= 160x^3
  3. Identify the coefficient of x3x^3.

    The coefficient of x3x^3 is 160.

    The coefficient of the term containing x3x^3 is 160\boxed{\text{160}}.
    Since 160 is not among options a) -4, b) -8, c) 8, d) 4, the correct option is e) None of the above.

What is the term independent of xx in the expansion of (1+x)7(1+x)^7?

  1. Use the general term formula Tk+1=(nk)an−kbkT_{k+1} = \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k.

    For (1+x)7(1+x)^7, a=1a=1, b=xb=x, n=7n=7.
    The term independent of xx is the term where the power of xx is 0. So, k=0k=0.

  2. Substitute k=0k=0 into the general term formula.

    T0+1=(70)(1)7−0(x)0T_{0+1} = \binom{7}{0} (1)^{7-0} (x)^0 T1=(70)(1)7(1)T_1 = \binom{7}{0} (1)^7 (1)
  3. Calculate the value.

    (70)=1\binom{7}{0} = 1 T1=1⋅1⋅1=1T_1 = 1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1 = 1

    The term independent of xx is 1\boxed{\text{1}}.
    This matches option a) 1.

Part 32· 4 steps

The coefficient of the second term in the expansion of (3−2x)5(3-2x)^5 is

  1. Use the general term formula Tk+1=(nk)an−kbkT_{k+1} = \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k.

    For (3−2x)5(3-2x)^5, a=3a=3, b=−2xb=-2x, n=5n=5.
    We need the second term, so k+1=2  ⟹  k=1k+1=2 \implies k=1.

  2. Substitute k=1k=1 into the general term formula.

    T1+1=(51)(3)5−1(−2x)1T_{1+1} = \binom{5}{1} (3)^{5-1} (-2x)^1 T2=(51)(3)4(−2x)T_2 = \binom{5}{1} (3)^4 (-2x)
  3. Calculate the values.

    (51)=5\binom{5}{1} = 5 34=813^4 = 81 T2=5⋅81⋅(−2x)T_2 = 5 \cdot 81 \cdot (-2x) T2=405⋅(−2x)T_2 = 405 \cdot (-2x) T2=−810xT_2 = -810x
  4. Identify the coefficient of the second term.

    The coefficient of the second term is −810-810.

    The coefficient of the second term is -810\boxed{\text{-810}}.
    Since −810-810 is not among options a) -120, b) 240, c) -240, d) 120, the correct option is e) None of the above.

Part 33· 1 step

The sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (a+b)n(a+b)^n is

  1. To find the sum of coefficients of a polynomial, substitute 1 for each variable.

    For the expansion of (a+b)n(a+b)^n, substitute a=1a=1 and b=1b=1.
    Sum of coefficients =(1+1)n=2n= (1+1)^n = 2^n.

    The sum of the coefficients is 2n\boxed{2^n}.
    This matches option c) 2n2^n.
