In
The index is (2n - 1), which is odd.
∴ There are two middle terms.
Sum of co-efficients of the two middle terms =
(∵
)
...(i)
In
The index is 2n, which is even.
∴ There is only one middle term.
∴ ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we have the sum of co-efficients of two middle terms in the expansion of is equal to the co-efficient of a single middle term in the expansion of
Find a, b and n in the expansion of if the first three terms of the expansion
are 729, 7290 and 30375, respectively.
