The correct Answer is:
To find the coefficient of \( x^{-6} \) in the expression \( (3x - \frac{4}{x})^{10} \), we will use the Binomial Theorem. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Write the General Term The general term \( T_r \) in the expansion of \( (a + b)^n \) is given by: \[ T_r = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] In our case, \( a = 3x \), \( b = -\frac{4}{x} \), and \( n = 10 \). Therefore, the general term becomes: \[ T_r = \binom{10}{r} (3x)^{10-r} \left(-\frac{4}{x}\right)^r \] ### Step 2: Simplify the General Term Now, we simplify \( T_r \): \[ T_r = \binom{10}{r} (3^{10-r} x^{10-r}) \left(-4^r \cdot x^{-r}\right) \] \[ = \binom{10}{r} 3^{10-r} (-4)^r x^{10-r-r} \] \[ = \binom{10}{r} 3^{10-r} (-4)^r x^{10-2r} \] ### Step 3: Set the Power of \( x \) to -6 We need the power of \( x \) to be \( -6 \): \[ 10 - 2r = -6 \] Solving for \( r \): \[ 10 + 6 = 2r \implies 16 = 2r \implies r = 8 \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( r \) into the General Term Now, we substitute \( r = 8 \) into the general term: \[ T_8 = \binom{10}{8} 3^{10-8} (-4)^8 x^{10-2 \cdot 8} \] \[ = \binom{10}{8} 3^2 (-4)^8 x^{-6} \] \[ = \binom{10}{2} 3^2 (-4)^8 x^{-6} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the Coefficient Now, we calculate the coefficient: \[ \binom{10}{2} = \frac{10 \times 9}{2 \times 1} = 45 \] \[ 3^2 = 9 \] \[ (-4)^8 = 4^8 = (2^2)^8 = 2^{16} \] Thus, the coefficient of \( x^{-6} \) is: \[ \text{Coefficient} = 45 \times 9 \times 2^{16} \] \[ = 405 \times 2^{16} \] ### Final Answer The coefficient of \( x^{-6} \) in \( (3x - \frac{4}{x})^{10} \) is: \[ 405 \times 65536 = 26,553,600 \]
