In the expansion of
Suppose that is the term independent of x.
∴ contains
Now,
Power of x = (24 - 2r) - (r)
= 24 - 3r
Power of x required = 0
∴ 24 - 3r = 0 or r = 8
∴ is the term independent of x.
Find a, b and n in the expansion of if the first three terms of the expansion
are 729, 7290 and 30375, respectively.
