The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the 5th term from the beginning of the expansion of \((2^{1/3} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}})^n\) given that the last term is \(\left(\frac{1}{3 \cdot 9^{1/3}}\right)^{\log_3 8}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Last Term**: The last term (T_{n+1}) in the binomial expansion of \((a - b)^n\) is given by: \[ T_{n+1} = \binom{n}{n} a^{n} (-b)^{0} = a^n \] In our case: \[ a = 2^{1/3}, \quad b = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] So, \[ T_{n+1} = (2^{1/3})^n = 2^{n/3} \] 2. **Set Up the Equation**: We know that the last term is equal to: \[ T_{n+1} = \left(\frac{1}{3 \cdot 9^{1/3}}\right)^{\log_3 8} \] We can simplify \(9^{1/3}\) as \(3^{2/3}\), hence: \[ 3 \cdot 9^{1/3} = 3 \cdot 3^{2/3} = 3^{5/3} \] Therefore, \[ T_{n+1} = \left(\frac{1}{3^{5/3}}\right)^{\log_3 8} = 3^{-5/3 \cdot \log_3 8} \] 3. **Use Properties of Logarithms**: We know that \(\log_3 8 = \log_3 (2^3) = 3 \log_3 2\), thus: \[ T_{n+1} = 3^{-5 \cdot \log_3 2} = 2^{-5} \] 4. **Equate the Two Expressions**: Now we have: \[ 2^{n/3} = 2^{-5} \] This implies: \[ \frac{n}{3} = -5 \implies n = -15 \] 5. **Find the 5th Term**: The 5th term \(T_5\) is given by: \[ T_5 = \binom{n}{4} a^{n-4} (-b)^4 \] Plugging in our values: \[ T_5 = \binom{-15}{4} (2^{1/3})^{-15 - 4} \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^4 \] 6. **Calculate Each Component**: - The binomial coefficient \(\binom{-15}{4}\) can be calculated using the formula for negative integers: \[ \binom{-n}{r} = (-1)^r \binom{n + r - 1}{r} \] Thus, \[ \binom{-15}{4} = (-1)^4 \binom{-15 + 4 - 1}{4} = \binom{-12}{4} \] - The powers: \[ (2^{1/3})^{-19} = 2^{-19/3}, \quad \left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^4 = \frac{1}{4} \] 7. **Combine Everything**: Finally, we combine all the components to find \(T_5\): \[ T_5 = \binom{-12}{4} \cdot 2^{-19/3} \cdot \frac{1}{4} \] ### Final Answer: The 5th term from the beginning is: \[ T_5 = \binom{-12}{4} \cdot 2^{-19/3} \cdot \frac{1}{4} \]
