The middle term in the expansion of is
Determine the number of terms in the expansion.
For , there are terms. Here , so there are terms.
Find the position of the middle term.
Since there are 11 terms (an odd number), there is one middle term. Its position is . So, it's the 6-th term.
Use the general term formula .
For the 6-th term, .
For , , , .The question asks for "the middle term", and the options are powers of . This implies we should identify the variable part of the middle term.
The middle term is . The variable part is .
This matches option a) .
