Sequence And Series Question 574

Question: The coefficients of $ x^{3} $ in the expansion of $ 3^{x} $ is

[Kerala (Engg.) 2005]

Options:

A) $ \frac{3^{3}}{6} $

B) $ \frac{{{(\log 3)}^{3}}}{3} $

C) $ \frac{\log (3^{3})}{6} $

D) $ \frac{{{(\log 3)}^{3}}}{6} $

E) $ \frac{3}{3,!} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ 3^{x}={e^{\log 3^{x}}} $ = $ {e^{x\log 3}} $ = $ 1+\frac{x\log 3}{1!}+\frac{x^{2}{{(\log 3)}^{2}}}{2!}+\frac{x^{3}{{(\log 3)}^{3}}}{3!}+…. $ Coefficient of $ x^{3} $ = $ \frac{{{(\log 3)}^{3}}}{3!} $ = $ \frac{{{(\log 3)}^{3}}}{6,} $ .
