The correct Answer is:
To find the coefficient of \( x^6 \) in the expansion of \( (2x^3 - \frac{1}{3x^3})^{10} \), we can use the Binomial Theorem. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the General Term**: The general term in the expansion of \( (a + b)^n \) is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] Here, \( a = 2x^3 \), \( b = -\frac{1}{3x^3} \), and \( n = 10 \). Thus, the general term can be expressed as: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{10}{r} (2x^3)^{10-r} \left(-\frac{1}{3x^3}\right)^r \] 2. **Simplify the General Term**: Expanding \( T_{r+1} \): \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{10}{r} (2^{10-r} x^{3(10-r)}) \left(-\frac{1}{3^r x^{3r}}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{10}{r} 2^{10-r} (-1)^r \frac{1}{3^r} x^{30 - 3r} \] 3. **Find the Power of \( x \)**: We want the power of \( x \) to be 6: \[ 30 - 3r = 6 \] Solving for \( r \): \[ 30 - 6 = 3r \implies 24 = 3r \implies r = 8 \] 4. **Substitute \( r \) into the General Term**: Now we substitute \( r = 8 \) back into the general term to find the coefficient: \[ T_{9} = \binom{10}{8} 2^{10-8} (-1)^8 \frac{1}{3^8} x^{30 - 3 \cdot 8} \] This simplifies to: \[ T_{9} = \binom{10}{8} 2^2 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{3^8} x^{6} \] 5. **Calculate the Coefficient**: Now we calculate the coefficient: \[ \binom{10}{8} = \binom{10}{2} = \frac{10 \times 9}{2 \times 1} = 45 \] Thus, the coefficient is: \[ 45 \cdot 4 \cdot \frac{1}{3^8} = \frac{180}{6561} \] ### Final Answer: The coefficient of \( x^6 \) in the expansion is: \[ \frac{180}{6561} \]

To find the coefficient of \( x^6 \) in the expansion of \( (2x^3 - \frac{1}{3x^3})^{10} \), we can use the Binomial Theorem. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the General Term**: The general term in the expansion of \( (a + b)^n \) is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r ...
