Find the 6th term of the expansion (y1/2 + x1/3)n, if the binomial coefficient of the 3rd term from the end is 45.
Given : 3rd term from the end =45
To Find : 6th term
For (y1/2 + x1/3)n,
a= y1/2, b= x1/3
We have,
As n=n, therefore there will be total (n+1) terms in the expansion.
3rd term from the end = (n+1-3+1)th i.e. (n-1)th term from the starting
For (n-1)th term, r = (n-1-1) = (n-2)
………..
Therefore 3rd term from the end
Therefore coefficient 3rd term from the end
• 90 = n (n-1)
• 10 (9) = n (n-1)
Comparing both sides, n=10
For 6th term, r=5
Conclusion : 6th term
