Binomial Theorem Question 8

Question 8 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)

Number of integral terms in the expansion of ${7^{\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)}+11^{\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)} }^{824}$ is equal to

Show Answer

Answer (138)

Solution

General term in expansion of $\left((7)^{1 / 2}+(11)^{1 / 6}\right)^{824}$ is

$t _{r+1}={ }^{824} C _r(7)^{\frac{824-r}{2}}(11)^{r / 6}$

For integral term, $r$ must be multiple of 6 .

Hence $r=0,6,12$,
