Q.

If the term without x in the expansion of (x23+αx3)22 is 7315, then |α| is equal to ________ .               [2023]


Ans.

(1)

Tr+1=Cr22(x23)22-r·(αx3)r 

=Cr22·(x443-2r3-3r)·(αr)

For the term without 'x'; 443-2r3-3r=0443=11r3

  r=4

So, the term without x is C422α4=7315

22×21×20×1924·α4=7315

  |α|=1
