The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the term in the binomial expansion of \((3\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})^5\) that does not contain any irrational numbers, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the General Term The general term \(T_{r+1}\) in the binomial expansion of \((a + b)^n\) is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] In our case, \(n = 5\), \(a = 3\sqrt{3}\), and \(b = \sqrt{2}\). ### Step 2: Write the General Term Substituting the values into the formula: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{5}{r} (3\sqrt{3})^{5-r} (\sqrt{2})^r \] This can be simplified to: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{5}{r} \cdot 3^{5-r} \cdot (\sqrt{3})^{5-r} \cdot (\sqrt{2})^r \] \[ = \binom{5}{r} \cdot 3^{5-r} \cdot 3^{(5-r)/2} \cdot 2^{r/2} \] \[ = \binom{5}{r} \cdot 3^{(10-r)/2} \cdot 2^{r/2} \] ### Step 3: Determine Conditions for Rationality For \(T_{r+1}\) to be a rational number, both exponents \((10-r)/2\) and \(r/2\) must be integers. This means: 1. \(10 - r\) must be even (i.e., \(r\) must be even). 2. \(r\) must also be even. ### Step 4: Find Possible Values of \(r\) Since \(r\) must be even and can take values from \(0\) to \(5\) (inclusive), the possible values for \(r\) are \(0, 2, 4\). ### Step 5: Check Each Value of \(r\) - For \(r = 0\): \[ T_{1} = \binom{5}{0} \cdot 3^{10/2} \cdot 2^{0/2} = 1 \cdot 3^5 \cdot 1 = 243 \quad \text{(Rational)} \] - For \(r = 2\): \[ T_{3} = \binom{5}{2} \cdot 3^{(10-2)/2} \cdot 2^{2/2} = 10 \cdot 3^4 \cdot 2^1 = 10 \cdot 81 \cdot 2 = 1620 \quad \text{(Rational)} \] - For \(r = 4\): \[ T_{5} = \binom{5}{4} \cdot 3^{(10-4)/2} \cdot 2^{4/2} = 5 \cdot 3^3 \cdot 2^2 = 5 \cdot 27 \cdot 4 = 540 \quad \text{(Rational)} \] ### Conclusion All three terms \(T_1\), \(T_3\), and \(T_5\) are rational. However, we need the term that does not contain any irrational number. The term \(T_3\) corresponds to \(r = 2\) and is: \[ T_3 = 1620 \] Thus, the term which does not contain any irrational number is: \[ \text{The answer is } 1620. \]
