2. (5r-3s)6
C. Find the rth term of the given binomial
expansion.
1. (2a-7b)20 , 14th term
Solution:
Given: n = 20, r = 14, x = 2a, y = -7b
Required: 14th term
rth term = nC(r-1)xn-(r-1)yr-1
14th term = 20C(14-1)(2a)20-(14-1)(-7b)14-1
=20C13(2a)20-13(-7b)13
=20C13(2a)7(-7b)13
=77520(128a7) (9.69b13)
14th term =96149606.4a7b13 ans.
