(6−4x)^(−3) =6^(−3) (1−((2x)/3))^(−3) =6^(−3) Σ_(n=0) ^∞ C_2 ^(n+2) ((2/3))^n x^n =6^(−3) Σ_(n=0) ^∞ a_n x^n a_n =C_2 ^(n+2) ((2/3))^n =(((n+2)(n+1))/2)((2/3))^n a(x)=(((x+2)(x+1))/2)((2/3))^x a(x) has maximum at x=3.48 ⇒a_n has maximum at n=3 or 4 a_3 =((5×4)/2)×((2/3))^3 =((80)/(27)) a_4 =((6×5)/2)×((2/3))^4 =((80)/(27)) ⇒x^3 and x^4 term has the largest coef. which is 6^(−3) ×((80)/(27))=((10)/(729)).

Sir, how did you get. 3.48 and 3 or 4

look at a(x)=(((x+2)(x+1))/2)((2/3))^x (x+2)(x+1) is increasing with x, ((2/3))^x is decreasing with x, so an(x) has a maximum at some point, at this point ((da(x))/dx)=0. ((da(x))/dx)=(((2x+3))/2)((2/3))^x +(((x^2 +3x+1))/2)((2/3))^x ln ((2/3))=0 (2x+3)+(x^2 +3x+1)ln ((2/3))=0 ln ((2/3))x^2 +[3ln ((2/3))−2]x+[ln ((2/3))−3]=0 ⇒x=((−3ln ((2/3))+2+(√([3ln ((2/3))−2]^2 −4 ln ((2/3)) [ln ((2/3))−3])))/(2ln ((2/3))))=3.48 i.e. a(x) has maximum at x=3.48 a_n will have maximum when n is so close to 3.48 as possible, that is n=3 or n=4.

an other way to find the largest coef.: a_n =(((n+2)(n+1))/2)((2/3))^n a_(n−1) =(((n+1)n)/2)((2/3))^(n−1) a_(n+1) =(((n+3)(n+2))/2)((2/3))^(n+1) such that a_n is maximum, (a_n /a_(n−1) )≥1: (((n+2)(n+1))/((n+1)n))((2/3))≥1 ((n+2)/n)≥(3/2) 2n+4≥3n ⇒n≤4 (a_n /a_(n+1) )≥1: (((n+2)(n+1))/((n+3)(n+2)))((2/3))^(−1) ≥1 ((n+1)/(n+3))≥(2/3) 3n+3≥2n+6 ⇒n≥3 ⇒n=3 or 4
