Question Number 113796 by aurpeyz last updated on 15/Sep/20

find the greatest coeeficient in the expansion   (6−4x)^(−3)

$$\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{greatest}\:\mathrm{coeeficient}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{expansion}\: \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{6}−\mathrm{4x}\right)^{−\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

(6−4x)^(−3) =6^(−3) (1−(2/3)x)^(−3)   =6^(−3) Σ_(k=0) ^∞ C_2 ^(k+2) ((2/3))^k x^k   let C_2 ^(k+2) ((2/3))^k ≥C_2 ^(k+3) ((2/3))^(k+1)   (((k+2)(k+1))/2)≥(((k+3)(k+2))/2)((2/3))  3(k+1)≥2(k+3)  k≥3  max. coef. is at k=3:  6^(−3) ×C_2 ^5 ×((2/3))^3 =((10)/(729))

$$\left(\mathrm{6}−\mathrm{4}{x}\right)^{−\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{6}^{−\mathrm{3}} \left(\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}{x}\right)^{−\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{6}^{−\mathrm{3}} \underset{{k}=\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\infty} {\sum}}{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{k}+\mathrm{2}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{{k}} {x}^{{k}} \\ $$$${let}\:{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{k}+\mathrm{2}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{{k}} \geqslant{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{k}+\mathrm{3}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{{k}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\frac{\left({k}+\mathrm{2}\right)\left({k}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{2}}\geqslant\frac{\left({k}+\mathrm{3}\right)\left({k}+\mathrm{2}\right)}{\mathrm{2}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}\left({k}+\mathrm{1}\right)\geqslant\mathrm{2}\left({k}+\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$$${k}\geqslant\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${max}.\:{coef}.\:{is}\:{at}\:{k}=\mathrm{3}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{6}^{−\mathrm{3}} ×{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{\mathrm{5}} ×\left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{\mathrm{3}} =\frac{\mathrm{10}}{\mathrm{729}} \\ $$

pls explain line 2 and 3 in words. thanks alot  sir

$${pls}\:{explain}\:{line}\:\mathrm{2}\:{and}\:\mathrm{3}\:{in}\:{words}.\:{thanks}\:{alot} \\ $$$${sir} \\ $$

line 2 is just binomial theorem

if A_n  is the largest, it means:  A_1 <A_2 <...<A_(n−1) <A_n >A_(n+1) >A_(n+2) >...  i.e. n is the minimum of k which  fulfills A_k ≥A_(k+1)   or C_2 ^(k+2) ((2/3))^k ≥C_2 ^(k+3) ((2/3))^(k+1)   ⇒k≥3  it means A_3  is the largest.

$${if}\:{A}_{{n}} \:{is}\:{the}\:{largest},\:{it}\:{means}: \\ $$$${A}_{\mathrm{1}} <{A}_{\mathrm{2}} <...<{A}_{{n}−\mathrm{1}} <{A}_{{n}} >{A}_{{n}+\mathrm{1}} >{A}_{{n}+\mathrm{2}} >... \\ $$$${i}.{e}.\:{n}\:{is}\:{the}\:{minimum}\:{of}\:{k}\:{which} \\ $$$${fulfills}\:{A}_{{k}} \geqslant{A}_{{k}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$${or}\:{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{k}+\mathrm{2}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{{k}} \geqslant{C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{k}+\mathrm{3}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}}\right)^{{k}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{k}\geqslant\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${it}\:{means}\:{A}_{\mathrm{3}} \:{is}\:{the}\:{largest}. \\ $$

i understand that the general term of a  binomial is Σ_(r=o) ^n C_r ^n x^(n−r) y^r . pls explain this ⇒  Σ_(k=0) ^∞ C_2 ^(k+2) ((2/3))^k x^k . how you get to use k+2.

so i that i will be able this understanding to   solve other problems. thanks alot

you should study the case (x+y)^n   with n=negative!

$${you}\:{should}\:{study}\:{the}\:{case}\:\left({x}+{y}\right)^{{n}} \\ $$$${with}\:{n}={negative}! \\ $$

generally C_r ^n =C_(n−r) ^n   ⇒C_k ^(k+2) =C_2 ^(k+2)

$${generally}\:{C}_{{r}} ^{{n}} ={C}_{{n}−{r}} ^{{n}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{C}_{{k}} ^{{k}+\mathrm{2}} ={C}_{\mathrm{2}} ^{{k}+\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
