Question 9.
Find the coefficient of x5 in the expansion of (x + 3)8
Solution:
Suppose x5 appears in (r + 1)th term Tr+1 = nC1xn-rar

Tr + 1 = nCrxn – r(1)r
Tr – 1 = Tr – 2 + 1 = nCr – 2(x)n – (r – 2)(1)r – 2
Coefficient of Tr – 1th term = nCr – 2
Tr = Tr – 1 + 1 = nCr – 1(x)n – (r – 1)(1)r – 1
Coefficient of Trthterm = nCr – 1
Tr + 1 = nCr xn – r (1)r
Coefficient of Tr+1th term = nCr
MP Board Class 11th Maths Important Questions Chapter 8 Binomial Theorem 16
Put n = 4r – 5 from equation (1) in equation (2),
3(4r – 5) – 8r = – 3
⇒ 12r – 15 – 8r = – 3
⇒ 4r = 12

⇒ n = 12 – 5
⇒ n = l
n = 7, r = 3

Question 14.
Prove that the coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n of in the expansion of (1 + x)2n – 1.
Solution:
In the expansion of (x + a)n
Tr+1 = nCr xn – r ar
Here x = 1, a = x, n = 2n
Tr+1 = 2nCr(1)2n – r(x)r
For the coefficient of xn, put r = n,
Tn+1 = 2nCn(a)2n – n(x)n
and T18 = T17 + 1 = 50C17 (2)50 – 17 (a)17
= (2nCn) xn
∴ In the expansion of (1 + x)2n, the coefficient of xn = 2nCn …. (1)
and in the expansion of (1 + x)2n – 1, x = 1, a = x, n = 2n – 1
∴ Tr+1 = 2nCr (1)2n – 1  -r (x)n
For the coefficient of xn, put r = n, ‘
We get Tn+1 = 2n – 1Cn xn
The coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n – 1 = n – 1Cn
MP Board Class 11th Maths Important Questions Chapter 8 Binomial Theorem 17
∴ The coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n
