The correct Answer is:
To find the middle term in the expansions of the given expressions, we will follow the Binomial Theorem, which states that: \[ (a + b)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] ### (i) For the expression \((\frac{x}{3} + 9y)^{10}\): 1. **Identify \(n\)**: Here, \(n = 10\), which is even. 2. **Find the middle term**: The middle term when \(n\) is even is given by the formula: \[ \text{Middle term} = T_{\frac{n}{2} + 1} = T_{6} \] 3. **Calculate \(T_6\)**: \[ T_6 = \binom{10}{5} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^{10-5} (9y)^5 \] \[ = \binom{10}{5} \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^5 (9y)^5 \] 4. **Calculate \(\binom{10}{5}\)**: \[ \binom{10}{5} = \frac{10!}{5!5!} = \frac{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} = 252 \] 5. **Substitute values**: \[ T_6 = 252 \left(\frac{x^5}{3^5}\right) (9^5 y^5) \] \[ = 252 \left(\frac{x^5}{243}\right) (59049 y^5) \] 6. **Final calculation**: \[ = 252 \times \frac{59049}{243} x^5 y^5 \] \[ = 252 \times 243 x^5 y^5 \] \[ = 61236 x^5 y^5 \] ### (ii) For the expression \((\frac{x}{y} + \frac{y}{x})^{2n+1}\): 1. **Identify \(n\)**: Here, \(n = 2n + 1\), which is odd. 2. **Find the middle terms**: The middle terms when \(n\) is odd are given by: \[ T_{n+1} \text{ and } T_{n+2} \] 3. **Calculate \(T_{n+1}\)**: \[ T_{n+1} = \binom{2n+1}{n} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^n \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{(2n+1)-n} \] \[ = \binom{2n+1}{n} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^n \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{n+1} \] \[ = \binom{2n+1}{n} \frac{x^n y^{n+1}}{y^n x^{n+1}} = \binom{2n+1}{n} \frac{y}{x} \] 4. **Calculate \(T_{n+2}\)**: \[ T_{n+2} = \binom{2n+1}{n+1} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^{n+1} \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{(2n+1)-(n+1)} \] \[ = \binom{2n+1}{n+1} \left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^{n+1} \left(\frac{y}{x}\right)^{n} \] \[ = \binom{2n+1}{n+1} \frac{x^{n+1} y^{n}}{y^{n+1} x^{n}} = \binom{2n+1}{n+1} \frac{x}{y} \] ### Final Results: 1. The middle term of \((\frac{x}{3} + 9y)^{10}\) is \(61236 x^5 y^5\). 2. The middle terms of \((\frac{x}{y} + \frac{y}{x})^{2n+1}\) are \(\binom{2n+1}{n} \frac{y}{x}\) and \(\binom{2n+1}{n+1} \frac{x}{y}\).
