The correct Answer is:
To find the 4th term from the end in the expansion of \(\left(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{4}{x}\right)^{15}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the General Term**: The general term \(T_r\) in the expansion of \((a + b)^n\) is given by: \[ T_r = \binom{n}{r-1} a^{n - (r - 1)} b^{r - 1} \] Here, \(a = \frac{x}{2}\), \(b = -\frac{4}{x}\), and \(n = 15\). 2. **Determine the Term from the End**: To find the 4th term from the end, we can use the relationship: \[ T_{r} = T_{n - r + 1} \] Therefore, the 4th term from the end corresponds to the \(n - 4 + 1 = 15 - 4 + 1 = 12\)th term from the beginning. 3. **Calculate the 12th Term**: Using the formula for the general term: \[ T_{12} = \binom{15}{12 - 1} \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{15 - (12 - 1)} \left(-\frac{4}{x}\right)^{12 - 1} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ T_{12} = \binom{15}{11} \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{4} \left(-\frac{4}{x}\right)^{11} \] 4. **Calculate the Binomial Coefficient**: \[ \binom{15}{11} = \binom{15}{4} = \frac{15 \times 14 \times 13 \times 12}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} = 1365 \] 5. **Substitute Values**: Now substituting the values: \[ T_{12} = 1365 \left(\frac{x^4}{2^4}\right) \left(-\frac{4^{11}}{x^{11}}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ T_{12} = 1365 \cdot \frac{x^4}{16} \cdot \left(-\frac{4^{11}}{x^{11}}\right) \] 6. **Combine Terms**: \[ T_{12} = 1365 \cdot \left(-\frac{4^{11}}{16}\right) \cdot \frac{x^4}{x^{11}} = 1365 \cdot \left(-\frac{4^{11}}{16}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{x^7} \] 7. **Calculate Powers of 4**: \[ -\frac{4^{11}}{16} = -\frac{4^{11}}{4^2} = -4^{9} = -262144 \] 8. **Final Expression**: \[ T_{12} = 1365 \cdot (-262144) \cdot \frac{1}{x^7} \] \[ T_{12} = -358318080 \cdot \frac{1}{x^7} \] ### Final Answer: The 4th term from the end in the expansion of \(\left(\frac{x}{2} - \frac{4}{x}\right)^{15}\) is: \[ -\frac{358318080}{x^7} \]
