The correct Answer is:
To find the tenth term in the expansion of \((2x - y)^{11}\), we can use the Binomial Theorem. According to the theorem, the \(r\)th term in the expansion of \((a + b)^n\) is given by: \[ T_r = \binom{n}{r-1} a^{r-1} b^{n - (r-1)} \] In our case, we have \(a = 2x\), \(b = -y\), and \(n = 11\). We want to find the 10th term, which corresponds to \(r = 10\). ### Step 1: Identify the values - \(n = 11\) - \(r = 10\) - \(a = 2x\) - \(b = -y\) ### Step 2: Substitute into the formula Using the formula for the \(r\)th term: \[ T_{10} = \binom{11}{10-1} (2x)^{10-1} (-y)^{11 - (10-1)} \] This simplifies to: \[ T_{10} = \binom{11}{9} (2x)^{9} (-y)^{2} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \(\binom{11}{9}\) \[ \binom{11}{9} = \binom{11}{2} = \frac{11!}{9! \cdot 2!} = \frac{11 \times 10}{2 \times 1} = 55 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \((2x)^9\) \[ (2x)^9 = 2^9 \cdot x^9 = 512x^9 \] ### Step 5: Calculate \((-y)^2\) \[ (-y)^2 = y^2 \] ### Step 6: Combine all parts Now substituting everything back into the term: \[ T_{10} = 55 \cdot 512x^9 \cdot y^2 \] ### Step 7: Final calculation Calculating \(55 \cdot 512\): \[ T_{10} = 28160x^9y^2 \] Thus, the tenth term in the expansion of \((2x - y)^{11}\) is: \[ \boxed{28160x^9y^2} \]
