Question

Determine the independent term of x7 in the expansion of (3x2 + 4)12.

  1. 220 × 46
  2. 230
  3. 548× 3!
  4.  220 × 36 × 46

The correct answer is: 220 × 36 × 46


    By using Binomial theorem
    sum for k equals 0 of open parentheses n to the power of k close parentheses x to the power of k y to the power of n times k end exponent equals n to the power of 0 x to the power of 0 y to the power of n plus n to the power of 1 x to the power of 1 y to the power of n times 1 end exponent plus n squared x squared y to the power of n times 2 end exponent plus horizontal ellipsis plus n to the power of n x to the power of n y to the power of 0 comma text  where  end text open parentheses n to the power of k close parentheses
    equals fraction numerator n factorial over denominator k factorial left parenthesis n minus k right parenthesis factorial end fraction times text  Now,  end text T subscript r plus 1 end subscript equals C presuperscript n subscript r a to the power of n asterisk times r end exponent b to the power of r comma T subscript 9 plus 1 end subscript equals C presuperscript 12 subscript 6 a to the power of 12 minus 6 end exponent b to the power of 6 equals 220 asterisk times open parentheses 3 x squared close parentheses to the power of 6 asterisk times left parenthesis 4 right parenthesis to the power of 6 equals 220 asterisk times 3 to the power of 6 asterisk times 4 to the power of 6 times
    Hence the coefficient is    220 asterisk times 3 to the power of 6 asterisk times 4 to the power of 6
