Given:

The  expansion of (ax+b/x)^14

To Find:

The term independent of x in the expansion of (ax+b/x)^14.

Solution:

The jth term in the binomial expansion of the term (a+b)^{n} =>

  • nC_j a^{j} b^{n-j}

Therefore in the given question, let jth term be independent of x.

Each term in the expansion of  (ax+b/x)^14 can be written in the form as jth term =>

  • 14C_j (ax)^{j}(\frac{b}{x}  )^{14-j} = 14C_j a^{j} b^{14-j}\frac{ x^{2j }  }{x^{14} }

For the terms to be independent of x , x^{2j} and x^{14} should cancel each other.

Therefore,

  • 2j = 14
  • j = 7

Hence the 7th term will be independent of x.

The term independent of x in the  expansion of (ax+b/x)^14 is 14C_7a^{7} b^{7}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expansion of (ax+b/x)^14

To Find:

The term independent of x in the expansion of (ax+b/x)^14.

Solution:

The jth term in the binomial expansion of the term (a+b)^{n}(a+b)

n

=>

nC_j a^{j} b^{n-j}nC

j

a

j

b

n−j

Therefore in the given question, let jth term be independent of x.

Each term in the expansion of (ax+b/x)^14 can be written in the form as jth term =>

14C_j (ax)^{j}(\frac{b}{x} )^{14-j}14C

j

14−j

= 14C_j a^{j} b^{14-j}\frac{ x^{2j } }{x^{14} }14C

2j

For the terms to be independent of x , x^{2j}x

2j

and x^{14}x

14

should cancel each other.

Therefore,

2j = 14

j = 7

Hence the 7th term will be independent of x.

The term independent of x in the expansion of (ax+b/x)^14 is 14C_7a^{7} b^{7}14C
