Question

Find the coefficient of x^5 in the expansion of (3x-2)^8 step by step.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The general term in the expansion of (2−x+3x

2

)

6

is

r!s!t!

r

(−x)

s

(3x

)

t

, where r+s+t=6

=

r!s!t!

r

s

t

×x

s+2t

,

where r+s+t=6

For the coefficient of x

5

, we must have

s+2t=5

But r+s+t=6

∴s=5−2t and r=1+t

where, 0≤r,s,t≤6

Now, t=0⇒r=1,s=5

t=1⇒r=2,s=3

t=2⇒r=3,s=1

Thus, there are three terms containing x

5

and coefficient of x
