The correct Answer is:
To find the general term \( (r+1)^{th} \) in the expansion of \( \left(1 + \frac{4x}{5}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}} \), we can use the Binomial Theorem, which states that: \[ (a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k \] In our case, we can identify \( a = 1 \), \( b = \frac{4x}{5} \), and \( n = \frac{5}{2} \). ### Step 1: Identify the general term The general term \( T_{r+1} \) in the expansion can be expressed as: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] Substituting the values of \( a \), \( b \), and \( n \): \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{\frac{5}{2}}{r} \cdot 1^{\frac{5}{2}-r} \cdot \left(\frac{4x}{5}\right)^r \] ### Step 2: Simplify the term Since \( 1^{\frac{5}{2}-r} = 1 \), we can simplify this to: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{\frac{5}{2}}{r} \cdot \left(\frac{4x}{5}\right)^r \] ### Step 3: Calculate the binomial coefficient The binomial coefficient \( \binom{\frac{5}{2}}{r} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \binom{n}{r} = \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)\cdots(n-r+1)}{r!} \] For \( n = \frac{5}{2} \): \[ \binom{\frac{5}{2}}{r} = \frac{\frac{5}{2} \left(\frac{5}{2}-1\right) \left(\frac{5}{2}-2\right) \cdots \left(\frac{5}{2}-(r-1)\right)}{r!} \] ### Step 4: Substitute back into the general term Now substituting this back into our expression for \( T_{r+1} \): \[ T_{r+1} = \frac{\frac{5}{2} \cdot \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) \cdots \left(\frac{5}{2} - (r-1)\right)}{r!} \cdot \left(\frac{4x}{5}\right)^r \] ### Final Expression Thus, the general term \( T_{r+1} \) in the expansion of \( \left(1 + \frac{4x}{5}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}} \) is: \[ T_{r+1} = \frac{\frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{2} \cdots \left(\frac{5}{2} - (r-1)\right)}{r!} \cdot \left(\frac{4x}{5}\right)^r \]
