Find the coefficient of `x^9` in the expansion of `(x^2-1/(3x))^9`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Suppose `x^{9}` occurs at the `(r+1)` th term in the above expression.
Then, we have:
`T_{r+1}=\ ^{9} C_{r}(x^{2})^{9-r}(frac{-1}{3 x})^{r} `
`=(-1)^{r} 9 C_{r}(x^{18-2 r-r})(frac{1}{3^{r}})`
For this term to contain `x^{9}`, we must have:
`18-3 r=9 `
`Rightarrow 3 r=9 `
`Rightarrow r=3 `
