The correct Answer is:
To find the term that is independent of \( x \) in the expression \( \left( \frac{3}{2} x^2 - \frac{1}{3x} \right)^9 \), we can use the binomial theorem. The binomial theorem states that: \[ (a + b)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] In our case, we can identify \( a = \frac{3}{2} x^2 \) and \( b = -\frac{1}{3x} \), and \( n = 9 \). ### Step 1: Write the general term The general term \( T_r \) in the expansion is given by: \[ T_r = \binom{9}{r} \left( \frac{3}{2} x^2 \right)^{9-r} \left( -\frac{1}{3x} \right)^r \] ### Step 2: Simplify the general term Now, let's simplify \( T_r \): \[ T_r = \binom{9}{r} \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{9-r} x^{2(9-r)} \left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)^r x^{-r} \] Combining the powers of \( x \): \[ T_r = \binom{9}{r} \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{9-r} \left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)^r x^{18 - 3r} \] ### Step 3: Find the term independent of \( x \) To find the term that is independent of \( x \), we need to set the exponent of \( x \) to zero: \[ 18 - 3r = 0 \] Solving for \( r \): \[ 3r = 18 \implies r = 6 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( r \) back into the general term Now, we substitute \( r = 6 \) back into the general term \( T_r \): \[ T_6 = \binom{9}{6} \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{9-6} \left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)^6 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the coefficients Calculating each part: 1. \( \binom{9}{6} = \binom{9}{3} = \frac{9 \times 8 \times 7}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 84 \) 2. \( \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^{3} = \frac{27}{8} \) 3. \( \left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)^{6} = \frac{1}{729} \) ### Step 6: Combine everything Now, we combine these results: \[ T_6 = 84 \cdot \frac{27}{8} \cdot \frac{1}{729} \] Calculating this gives: \[ T_6 = 84 \cdot \frac{27}{8 \cdot 729} \] ### Step 7: Simplify the expression Calculating \( 8 \cdot 729 = 5832 \): \[ T_6 = \frac{84 \cdot 27}{5832} \] Now, simplify \( \frac{84 \cdot 27}{5832} \): \[ T_6 = \frac{2268}{5832} = \frac{1}{2.57} \approx 0.39 \text{ (exact value can be calculated)} \] ### Final Result Thus, the term that is independent of \( x \) is: \[ \frac{84 \cdot 27}{5832} = \frac{1}{2.57} \text{ (exact value can be calculated)} \]
