The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( a_1 + a_4 + a_7 + a_{10} \) from the expansion of \( (1 + x + x^2)^5 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Expression**: We start with the expression \( (1 + x + x^2)^5 \). We want to expand this and find the coefficients \( a_1, a_4, a_7, \) and \( a_{10} \). 2. **Use Roots of Unity**: To find the coefficients efficiently, we can use the roots of unity. Let \( \omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} \), which is a primitive cube root of unity. The property of cube roots of unity is that \( 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0 \). 3. **Evaluate at \( x = 1 \)**: First, we substitute \( x = 1 \): \[ (1 + 1 + 1^2)^5 = 3^5 = 243 \] This gives us: \[ a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_{10} = 243 \] 4. **Evaluate at \( x = \omega \)**: Next, we substitute \( x = \omega \): \[ (1 + \omega + \omega^2)^5 = 0^5 = 0 \] This gives us: \[ a_0 + a_1 \omega + a_2 \omega^2 + a_3 \omega^3 + a_4 \omega^4 + a_5 \omega^5 + a_6 \omega^6 + a_7 \omega^7 + a_8 \omega^8 + a_9 \omega^9 + a_{10} \omega^{10} = 0 \] Since \( \omega^3 = 1 \), we can simplify this to: \[ a_0 + a_1 \omega + a_2 \omega^2 + a_3 + a_4 \omega + a_5 \omega^2 + a_6 + a_7 \omega + a_8 \omega^2 + a_9 + a_{10} \omega = 0 \] 5. **Evaluate at \( x = \omega^2 \)**: Now, we substitute \( x = \omega^2 \): \[ (1 + \omega^2 + (\omega^2)^2)^5 = 0^5 = 0 \] This gives us: \[ a_0 + a_1 \omega^2 + a_2 \omega + a_3 + a_4 \omega^2 + a_5 \omega + a_6 + a_7 \omega^2 + a_8 \omega + a_9 + a_{10} \omega^2 = 0 \] 6. **Set Up the System of Equations**: We now have three equations: - \( a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + \ldots + a_{10} = 243 \) (1) - \( a_0 + a_3 + (a_1 + a_4 + a_7) \omega + (a_2 + a_5 + a_8) \omega^2 + (a_6 + a_9 + a_{10}) = 0 \) (2) - \( a_0 + a_3 + (a_2 + a_7 + a_{10}) \omega^2 + (a_1 + a_4 + a_8) \omega + (a_5 + a_6 + a_9) = 0 \) (3) 7. **Combine Equations**: By adding equations (2) and (3), we can isolate terms involving \( a_1, a_4, a_7, \) and \( a_{10} \). 8. **Solve for the Coefficients**: From the symmetry and properties of roots of unity, we find that: \[ 3(a_1 + a_4 + a_7 + a_{10}) = 243 \] Thus, \[ a_1 + a_4 + a_7 + a_{10} = \frac{243}{3} = 81 \] ### Final Answer: The value of \( a_1 + a_4 + a_7 + a_{10} \) is \( \boxed{81} \).
