Write the coefficient of x7y2 in the expansion of (x + 2y)9

To find: the coefficient of x7y2 in the expansion of (x + 2y)9


Formula Used:


A general term, Tr+1 of binomial expansionis given by,


Tr+1 nCr xn-r yr where


nCr


Now, finding the general term of the expression, (x + 2y)9, we get


Tr+19Cr


The value of r for which coefficient of x7y2 is defined


r=2


Hence, the coefficient of x7y2 in the expansion of (x + 2y)9 is given by:


T39C3


T39C3


T3


T3


T3=336


Thus, the coefficient of x7y2 in the expansion of (x + 2y)9 is 336
