The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) such that the 7th term from the beginning and the end in the expansion of \( \left( \sqrt[3]{2} + \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} \right)^n \) are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Terms**: - The 7th term from the beginning in the expansion is given by the formula: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] Here, \( a = \sqrt[3]{2} \), \( b = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} \), and \( r = 6 \) (since we want the 7th term). - Therefore, the 7th term from the beginning \( T_7 \) is: \[ T_7 = \binom{n}{6} \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^{n-6} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} \right)^6 \] 2. **Calculate \( T_7 \)**: - Simplifying \( T_7 \): \[ T_7 = \binom{n}{6} \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^{n-6} \cdot \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} \right)^6 = \binom{n}{6} \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^{n-6} \cdot \left( \frac{1}{3^{2}} \right) \] \[ T_7 = \binom{n}{6} \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^{n-6} \cdot \frac{1}{9} \] 3. **7th Term from the End**: - The 7th term from the end can be calculated using: \[ L_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^r b^{n-r} \] - For the 7th term from the end \( L_7 \) (where \( r = 6 \)): \[ L_7 = \binom{n}{6} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} \right)^{n-6} \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^6 \] \[ L_7 = \binom{n}{6} \cdot \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} \right)^{n-6} \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^6 \] 4. **Calculate \( L_7 \)**: - Simplifying \( L_7 \): \[ L_7 = \binom{n}{6} \cdot \left( \frac{1}{3^{(n-6)/3}} \right) \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^6 \] \[ L_7 = \binom{n}{6} \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^6 \cdot \frac{1}{3^{(n-6)/3}} \] 5. **Set the Two Terms Equal**: - Since \( T_7 = L_7 \): \[ \binom{n}{6} \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^{n-6} \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \binom{n}{6} \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^6 \cdot \frac{1}{3^{(n-6)/3}} \] 6. **Cancel \( \binom{n}{6} \)**: - Canceling \( \binom{n}{6} \) from both sides (assuming \( n \geq 6 \)): \[ \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^{n-6} \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^6 \cdot \frac{1}{3^{(n-6)/3}} \] 7. **Rearranging the Equation**: - Rearranging gives: \[ \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^{n-6} \cdot 3^{(n-6)/3} = 9 \cdot \left( \sqrt[3]{2} \right)^6 \] 8. **Equating Powers**: - This leads to: \[ 2^{(n-6)/3} = 9 \cdot 2^2 \] - Simplifying gives: \[ 2^{(n-6)/3} = 2^2 \cdot 3^2 \] - Taking logarithms or equating exponents gives: \[ \frac{n-6}{3} = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad n-6 = 6 \quad \Rightarrow \quad n = 12 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the value of \( n \) is \( 12 \).
