Question

In the expansion of (x + 3) (x + 2), what will be the middle term.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given, (1−3x+3x

=(1−x)

6n

Middle term =

=(3n+1)

th

term

Now consider the following,

T

r+1

=

n

C

r

a

n−r

b

r

...(i)

Where T represents the term

Here the middle term is the (3n+1)

th

term.

Hence, r+1=3n+1

r=3n

Substituting in (i), we get

(−1)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x + 3)(x + 2) = x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) \\ = {x}^{2} + 2x + 3x + 6 \\ = {x}^{2} + 5x + 6$

hence , the middle term of the expression is 5x
