The correct Answer is:
To find the coefficient of the term independent of \( x \) in the expansion of \( (1+x)^{2n} \left( \frac{x}{1-x} \right)^{-2n} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression We start with the expression: \[ (1+x)^{2n} \left( \frac{x}{1-x} \right)^{-2n} \] This can be rewritten as: \[ (1+x)^{2n} \cdot (1-x)^{2n} \cdot x^{2n} \] This is because \( \left( \frac{x}{1-x} \right)^{-2n} = \left( \frac{1-x}{x} \right)^{2n} = (1-x)^{2n} \cdot x^{-2n} \). ### Step 2: Combine the terms Now we have: \[ (1+x)^{2n} \cdot (1-x)^{2n} \cdot x^{2n} \] We can combine \( (1+x)^{2n} \) and \( (1-x)^{2n} \) using the identity \( (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2 \): \[ (1+x)(1-x) = 1 - x^2 \] Thus, we can express it as: \[ (1-x^2)^{2n} \cdot x^{2n} \] ### Step 3: Find the term independent of \( x \) To find the term independent of \( x \) in the expression \( (1-x^2)^{2n} \cdot x^{2n} \), we need to find the coefficient of \( x^{2n} \) in \( (1-x^2)^{2n} \). ### Step 4: Use the Binomial Theorem Using the Binomial Theorem, the general term in the expansion of \( (1-x^2)^{2n} \) is given by: \[ \binom{2n}{k} (-1)^k (x^2)^k = \binom{2n}{k} (-1)^k x^{2k} \] We need the coefficient of \( x^{2n} \), which occurs when \( 2k = 2n \) or \( k = n \). ### Step 5: Calculate the coefficient Thus, the coefficient of \( x^{2n} \) is: \[ \binom{2n}{n} (-1)^n \] ### Step 6: Final result Therefore, the coefficient of the term independent of \( x \) in the original expression is: \[ \binom{2n}{n} (-1)^n \]
