Binomial Theorem And Its Simple Applications Question 46

Question: The coefficient of $ x^{5} $ in $ {{(1+2x+3x^{2}+…)}^{-3/2}} $ is $ ( | x |<1 ) $

Options:

A) 21

B) 25

C) 26

D) none of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • [d] $ {{(1+2x+3x^{2}+…)}^{-3/2}}={{[{{(1-x)}^{-2}}]}^{-3/2}} $

$ ={{(1-x)}^{3}}=1-3x+3x^{2}-x^{3} $ Therefore, coefficient of $ x^{5} $ is 0.
