QUESTION 1 :
Find the middle term of (3x/7 - 2y)¹⁰.
ANSWER 1:
- - ¹⁰C₅ (6/7)⁵ x⁵ y⁵
EXPLANATION:
The expansion for the general term (a + b)ⁿ is,
10 in the power, also it is even
Middle term = 6
∴ 6th term is the middle term
r + 1 = 6
r = 5
n = 10
a = 3x/7
b = - 2y
QUESTION 2:
Find the middle term of (7p + 2q)⁸.
ANSWER 2:
- ⁸C₄ (14)⁴ (pq)⁴
EXPLANATION:
The expansion for the general term (a + b)ⁿ is,
8 in the power, also it is even
Middle term = 5
∴ 5th term is the middle term
r + 1 = 5
r = 4
n = 8
a = 7p
b = 2q
QUESTION 3:
Find the middle term of (4x² + 5x³)¹⁷.
ANSWER 3:
- ¹⁷C₉ (4)⁸ (5)⁹ (x)⁴³
EXPLANATION:
The expansion for the general term (a + b)ⁿ is,
17 in the power, also it is odd. So it has two middle terms
Middle terms = 9, 10
∴ 9, 10th terms are the middle terms
r + 1 = 9, r + 1 = 10
r = 8, r = 9
n = 17
a = 4x²
b = 5x³
9th term :
10th term :
T₁₀ matches with the given option.
QUESTION 4 :
Find the middle term of (3/a³ - 5a⁴)²⁰.
ANSWER 4:
- ²⁰C₁₀ (15)¹⁰ a¹⁰.
EXPLANATION:
The expansion for the general term (a + b)ⁿ is,
20 in the power, also it is even
Middle term = 11
∴ 11th term is the middle term
r + 1 = 11
r = 10
n = 20
a = 3/a³
b = 5a⁴
FINAL ANSWER:
- a - r
- b - p
- c - s
- d - q
