The correct Answer is:
To find the 4th term from the end in the expansion of \(\left(\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{3}{x^2}\right)^7\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the parameters In the expression \(\left(\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{3}{x^2}\right)^7\), we have: - \(n = 7\) - \(x = \frac{x^3}{3}\) - \(y = -\frac{3}{x^2}\) ### Step 2: Determine the term from the end To find the 4th term from the end, we can use the relationship: \[ \text{rth term from the end} = (n - r + 2) \text{th term from the beginning} \] Here, since we want the 4th term from the end, we set \(r = 4\). Thus, \[ \text{4th term from the end} = (7 - 4 + 2) \text{th term from the beginning} = 5 \text{th term from the beginning} \] ### Step 3: Use the binomial theorem The general term (r+1) in the binomial expansion is given by: \[ T_r = \binom{n}{r} x^{n-r} y^r \] For the 5th term, we have \(r = 4\): \[ T_5 = \binom{7}{4} \left(\frac{x^3}{3}\right)^{7-4} \left(-\frac{3}{x^2}\right)^4 \] ### Step 4: Calculate the coefficients and powers Now we can calculate: - \(\binom{7}{4} = \frac{7!}{4! \cdot 3!} = \frac{7 \times 6 \times 5}{3 \times 2 \times 1} = 35\) - \(\left(\frac{x^3}{3}\right)^{3} = \frac{x^9}{27}\) - \(\left(-\frac{3}{x^2}\right)^{4} = \frac{81}{x^8}\) ### Step 5: Combine the terms Now substituting these values back into the term: \[ T_5 = 35 \cdot \frac{x^9}{27} \cdot \frac{81}{x^8} \] This simplifies to: \[ T_5 = 35 \cdot \frac{81}{27} \cdot x^{9-8} = 35 \cdot 3 \cdot x = 105x \] ### Final Answer Thus, the 4th term from the end in the expansion is: \[ \boxed{105x} \]
