The correct Answer is:
To find the middle term in the expansion of \((x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 2)^n\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Simplify the Expression The expression can be rewritten as: \[ (x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2})^n \] Notice that \(x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2}\) can be expressed as \((x + \frac{1}{x})^2\) since: \[ (x + \frac{1}{x})^2 = x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \] Thus, we have: \[ (x + \frac{1}{x})^2 = x^2 + 2 + \frac{1}{x^2} \] So, the expression becomes: \[ ((x + \frac{1}{x})^2)^n = (x + \frac{1}{x})^{2n} \] ### Step 2: Determine the Number of Terms The expansion of \((x + \frac{1}{x})^{2n}\) will have \(2n + 1\) terms. This is because the number of terms in the expansion of \((a + b)^m\) is \(m + 1\). ### Step 3: Find the Middle Term Since there are \(2n + 1\) terms, the middle term will be the \((n + 1)\)-th term. ### Step 4: Write the General Term The general term \(T_r\) in the expansion of \((x + \frac{1}{x})^{2n}\) is given by: \[ T_r = \binom{2n}{r} (x)^{2n - r} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^r = \binom{2n}{r} x^{2n - 2r} \] where \(r\) varies from \(0\) to \(2n\). ### Step 5: Substitute for the Middle Term For the middle term, we set \(r = n\): \[ T_{n+1} = \binom{2n}{n} x^{2n - 2n} = \binom{2n}{n} x^0 = \binom{2n}{n} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the middle term in the expansion of \((x^2 + \frac{1}{x^2} + 2)^n\) is: \[ \binom{2n}{n} \]
