The correct Answer is:
To find the general term in the expansion of \((x^2 - y)^6\), we will use the Binomial Theorem. The Binomial Theorem states that: \[ (a + b)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] where \(\binom{n}{r}\) is the binomial coefficient, \(a\) and \(b\) are the terms in the binomial expression, and \(n\) is the exponent. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the terms**: In our case, we have: - \(a = x^2\) - \(b = -y\) - \(n = 6\) 2. **Write the general term**: The general term \(T_{r+1}\) in the expansion is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] 3. **Substitute the values**: Substituting \(a\), \(b\), and \(n\) into the formula: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{6}{r} (x^2)^{6-r} (-y)^r \] 4. **Simplify the expression**: - The term \((x^2)^{6-r} = x^{2(6-r)} = x^{12 - 2r}\) - The term \((-y)^r = (-1)^r y^r\) Therefore, we can rewrite the general term as: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{6}{r} x^{12 - 2r} (-1)^r y^r \] 5. **Final expression**: Combining all parts, the general term \(T_{r+1}\) is: \[ T_{r+1} = (-1)^r \binom{6}{r} x^{12 - 2r} y^r \] ### Final Answer: The general term in the expansion of \((x^2 - y)^6\) is: \[ T_{r+1} = (-1)^r \binom{6}{r} x^{12 - 2r} y^r \]
