Answer» ` (33 )/(32)` ` = (- 3 ) /(2) x ( 1 +x ) ^(-1 )(1-(x)/(2) ) ^(-1 ) ` `=(-3 ) /(2)x (1- x+x ^ 2-x ^(3 )+x ^ 4.. )(1 +(x ) /(2)+(x ^ 2 ) /(4)+(x ^ 3) /(8)+(x ^ 4 ) /(16 )+... ` `therefore ` COEFFICIENTOF`x ^5` `=( - 3 ) /(2 ) [ (1)/(16) - (1)/(8)+(1 ) /(4) - (1)/(2)+1 ] ` `= (-3)/(2) [(1 - 2+ 4 - 8 +16 )/(16)] ` `= (-3 )/(2) ((11)/(16)) ` `=(-33)/(32)` |
