Example 15 Find the term independent of x in the expansion of (āˆ›š‘„ " + " 1/(2 āˆ›š‘„))^18, x > 0. Calculating general term of expansion We know that general term of (a + b)n is Tr+1 = nCr (a)nā€“r . (a)n For general term of expansion (āˆ›š‘„ " + " 1/(2 āˆ›š‘„))^18 Putting n = 18 , a = āˆ›š‘„ , b = 1/(2 āˆ›š‘„) āˆ“ Tr + 1 = 18Cr (āˆ›š‘„)18 ā€“ r (1/(2 āˆ›š‘„))^š‘Ÿ = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^(1/3 Ɨ (18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)) (1/2 "Ɨ" 1/āˆ›š‘„)^š‘Ÿ = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)/3 ) (1/2)^š‘Ÿ (1/āˆ›š‘„)^š‘Ÿ = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)/3 ) 1/2^š‘Ÿ (1/š‘„^(1/3) )^š‘Ÿ = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)/3 ) 1/2^š‘Ÿ 1/š‘„^(š‘Ÿ/3) = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)/3 ) 1/2^š‘Ÿ š‘„^((āˆ’š‘Ÿ)/3) = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)/3 ) š‘„^((āˆ’š‘Ÿ)/3) 1/2^š‘Ÿ = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)/3 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ/3) 1/2^š‘Ÿ = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ š‘Ÿ āˆ’ š‘Ÿ)/3 ) 1/2^š‘Ÿ = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ 2š‘Ÿ)/3 ) 1/2^š‘Ÿ āˆ“ Tr + 1 = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ 2š‘Ÿ)/3 ) 1/2^š‘Ÿ We need to find the term independent of x So, power of x is 0 š‘„^((18 āˆ’2š‘Ÿ)/3) = x0 Comparing power (18 āˆ’ 2š‘Ÿ)/3 = 0 18 ā€“ 2r = 0 18 = 2r 18/2 = r 9 = r r = 9 Putting r = 9 in (1) Tr+1 = 18Cr (怖š‘„")" 怗^((18 āˆ’ 2š‘Ÿ)/3 ) 1/2^š‘Ÿ T9+1 = 18C9 .š‘„^((18 āˆ’3(9))/3). 1/29 = 18C9 .x0. 1/29 = 18C9 . 1/29 Hence, the term which is independent of x is 10th term = T10 = 18C9 . šŸ/šŸšŸ—a
