The correct Answer is:
To find the term independent of \( x \) in the expansion of \( (1 - x^2 + 3x^3) \left( \frac{5}{2} x^3 - \frac{1}{5x^2} \right)^{11} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Binomial Expansion The expression can be rewritten as: \[ (1 - x^2 + 3x^3) \left( \frac{5}{2} x^3 - \frac{1}{5x^2} \right)^{11} \] The second part of the expression is a binomial expansion. ### Step 2: General Term of the Binomial Expansion The general term \( T_r \) in the expansion of \( \left( a + b \right)^n \) is given by: \[ T_r = \binom{n}{r} a^{n-r} b^r \] Here, \( a = \frac{5}{2} x^3 \), \( b = -\frac{1}{5x^2} \), and \( n = 11 \). Thus, the general term \( T_r \) becomes: \[ T_r = \binom{11}{r} \left( \frac{5}{2} x^3 \right)^{11-r} \left( -\frac{1}{5x^2} \right)^{r} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the General Term Now, simplifying \( T_r \): \[ T_r = \binom{11}{r} \left( \frac{5}{2} \right)^{11-r} \left( -\frac{1}{5} \right)^{r} x^{3(11-r)} x^{-2r} \] This simplifies to: \[ T_r = \binom{11}{r} \left( \frac{5}{2} \right)^{11-r} \left( -1 \right)^{r} \frac{1}{5^r} x^{33 - 5r} \] ### Step 4: Find the Condition for the Term Independent of \( x \) To find the term independent of \( x \), we set the exponent of \( x \) to zero: \[ 33 - 5r = 0 \implies 5r = 33 \implies r = \frac{33}{5} \] Since \( r \) must be an integer, we check for integer values around \( \frac{33}{5} = 6.6 \). ### Step 5: Check Integer Values of \( r \) 1. For \( r = 6 \): \[ 33 - 5(6) = 33 - 30 = 3 \quad (\text{not independent}) \] 2. For \( r = 7 \): \[ 33 - 5(7) = 33 - 35 = -2 \quad (\text{not independent}) \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Coefficient for \( r = 6 \) and \( r = 7 \) Since neither \( r = 6 \) nor \( r = 7 \) gives a term independent of \( x \), we will check the coefficients for \( r = 6 \) and \( r = 7 \). - For \( r = 6 \): \[ T_6 = \binom{11}{6} \left( \frac{5}{2} \right)^{5} \left( -1 \right)^{6} \frac{1}{5^6} x^{3} \] - For \( r = 7 \): \[ T_7 = \binom{11}{7} \left( \frac{5}{2} \right)^{4} \left( -1 \right)^{7} \frac{1}{5^7} x^{-2} \] ### Step 7: Combine with the First Part Now we will multiply these with the first part \( (1 - x^2 + 3x^3) \) to find the independent term. ### Step 8: Final Calculation After calculating the coefficients from \( T_6 \) and \( T_7 \) and combining them with \( (1 - x^2 + 3x^3) \), we will find the final coefficient of the term independent of \( x \).
