Question

The term containing x¹⁰ in (x² + 1/x)¹⁴ is:
  1. A
    T₇ = ¹⁴C₆ x¹⁰
    Correct
  2. B
    T₅ = ¹⁴C₄ x¹⁰
  3. C
    T₆
  4. D
    No such term

Correct answer

T₇ = ¹⁴C₆ x¹⁰

Explanation

The general term is Tr+1=(14r)x28−3rT_{r+1}=\binom{14}{r}x^{28-3r}. Setting 28−3r=1028-3r=10 gives r=6r=6, so the required term is T7=(146)x10T_7=\binom{14}{6}x^{10}.
