{(6 - 4 x)}^{- 3}

Answered by mr W last updated on 15/Sep/20

{(6 - 4 x)}^{- 3} = 6^{- 3} {(1 - \frac{2}{3} x)}^{- 3}

= 6^{- 3} \underset{k = 0}{\sum^{\infty}} C_{2}^{k + 2} {(\frac{2}{3})}^{k} x^{k}

l e t C_{2}^{k + 2} {(\frac{2}{3})}^{k} ⩾ C_{2}^{k + 3} {(\frac{2}{3})}^{k + 1}

\frac{(k + 2) (k + 1)}{2} ⩾ \frac{(k + 3) (k + 2)}{2} (\frac{2}{3})

3 (k + 1) ⩾ 2 (k + 3)

k ⩾ 3

6^{- 3} \times C_{2}^{5} \times {(\frac{2}{3})}^{3} = \frac{10}{729}
