Find the middle term inn (i) ((2y^(2))/(3)+(3)/(2y^(2)))^(9),y ne0 (ii) (4x^(2)+9y^(2)+12xy)^(n)

Answer»

Solution :(i) Number of terms in the expansion is (9+1)=10 (EVEN)
`therefore` There are two middle terms given by `T_((9+1)/(2)) annd T_((9+3)/(2))` i.e., `T_(5) and T_(6)`
We know that `T_(r+1)=.^(n)C_(r)x^(n-r)a^(r)`
`thereforeT_(5)=T_(4+1)=.^(9)C_(4)((2y^(2))/(3))^(5)((3)/(2y^(2)))^(4)`
`=(9xx8xx7xx6)/(4xx3xx2xx1)xx(2^(5))/(3^(5))y^(10).(3^(4))/(2^(4)y^(8))`
`=(9xx8xx7xx6)/(4xx3xx2xx1)xx(2)/(3)xxy^(2)`
`=84y^(2)`.
and `T_(6)=T_(5+1)=.^(9)C_(5)((2y^(2))/(3))^(4)((3)/(2y^(2)))^(5)`
`=(9xx8xx7xx6)/(4xx3xx2xx1)xx(2^(4))/(3^(4))xx(3^(5))/(2^(5))xx(1)/(y^(2))`
`=(9xx8xx7xx6)/(4xx3xx2xx1)xx(3)/(2)xx(1)/(y^(2))`
`=(189)/(y^(2))`
(ii) `(4x^(2)+9y^(2)+12xy)^(n)`
Since `4x^(2)+9y^(2)+12xy=(2x+3y)^(2)`, therefore `(4x^(2)+9y^(2)+12xy)^(n)=(2x+3y)^(2n)`
Hence, there is only one middle TER namely `((2n)/(2)+1)^(th)` term i.e., `(n+1)^(th)` term.
`therefore` The required middle term `=T_(n+1)=.^(2n)C_(n)(2x)^(2n-n)(3y)^(n)` . . .
`=.^(2n)C_(n)(2x)^(n)(3y)^(n)`
`=(lfloor(2n))/(lfloor(n)lfloor(n)).2^(n).3^(n)x^(n).y^(n)`
hence, the middle term int he expansion of `(4x^(2)+9^(y)+12xy)^(n)` is `(lfloor(2n))/(floor(n)floor(n)).2^(n).3^(n)x^(n).y^(n)`
