To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( x \), \( a \), and \( n \) given that the second, third, and fourth terms of the binomial expansion \( (x + a)^n \) are 240, 720, and 1080, respectively. ### Step 1: Write the formulas for the terms The general term \( T_{r+1} \) in the binomial expansion \( (x + a)^n \) is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} x^{n-r} a^r \] ...
