hey everyone, hows it going?
im having a really hard time doing this question, could anyone help...thanks in advance, i appreciate your hard work!!
find the constant term in the expansion of (1 + x )^10(1+ 1/x)^12
find the constant term in the expansion of (1 + x )^10(1+ 1/x)^12
(1+x)10(1+1x)12=(1+x)10(1+xx)12=(1+x)10(1+x)12x12=(1+x)22x12=(220)x0+(221)x1+(222)x2+…+(2211)x11+(2212)x12+(2213)x13+…+(2221)x21+(2222)x22x12=(220)x−12+(221)x−11+(222)x−10+…+(2211)x−1+(2212)+(2213)x1+…+(2221)x9+(2222)x10
The constant term is:
(2212)=(2222−12)=(2210)=646646
