Q. Find the 66th term in the expansion of (5x+3)6 (5 x+3)^{6} in simplest form.\newlineAnswer:
  1. Use Binomial Theorem: To find the 6th6^{th} term in the expansion of (5x+3)6(5x+3)^{6}, we will use the binomial theorem. The binomial theorem states that the nthn^{th} term in the expansion of (a+b)m(a+b)^{m} is given by the formula C(m,n1)amn+1bn1C(m, n-1) \cdot a^{m-n+1} \cdot b^{n-1}, where C(m,n1)C(m, n-1) is the binomial coefficient, which can be calculated as m!(mn+1)!(n1)!\frac{m!}{(m-n+1)! \cdot (n-1)!}.
  2. Identify aa, bb, mm: First, we need to identify 'aa', 'bb', and 'mm' in our expression (5x+3)6(5x+3)^{6}. Here, 'aa' is 5x5x, 'bb' is bb00, and 'mm' is bb22. We are looking for the bb22th term, which means 'bb44' is bb22.
  3. Calculate Binomial Coefficient: Now we calculate the binomial coefficient for the 66th term, which is C(6,61)C(6, 6-1) or C(6,5)C(6, 5). The binomial coefficient C(6,5)C(6, 5) is calculated as 6!1!×5!=61×120=6120=120\frac{6!}{1! \times 5!} = \frac{6}{1 \times 120} = \frac{6}{120} = \frac{1}{20}. However, this is a mistake because the correct calculation should be 6!1!×5!=61×120=6120=120\frac{6!}{1! \times 5!} = \frac{6}{1 \times 120} = \frac{6}{120} = \frac{1}{20} is incorrect as 6!1!×5!\frac{6!}{1! \times 5!} is actually 61×120=6120=120\frac{6}{1 \times 120} = \frac{6}{120} = \frac{1}{20} is incorrect as 6!1!×5!\frac{6!}{1! \times 5!} is actually 61=6\frac{6}{1} = 6.
