The coefficient of x^4  in the expansion  of (1+5x+9x^2 +.....∞)(1+x^2 )^(11) is  a) 171  b) 172  c) 173  d) 176

$$\boldsymbol{{T}}{he}\:{coefficient}\:{of}\:{x}^{\mathrm{4}} \:{in}\:{the}\:{expansion} \\ $$$${of}\:\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{5}{x}+\mathrm{9}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +.....\infty\right)\left(\mathrm{1}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{11}} {is} \\ $$$$\left.{a}\right)\:\mathrm{171} \\ $$$$\left.{b}\right)\:\mathrm{172} \\ $$$$\left.{c}\right)\:\mathrm{173} \\ $$$$\left.{d}\right)\:\mathrm{176} \\ $$

17×1+9×11+1×55=171  ⇒answer a)

$$\mathrm{17}×\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{11}+\mathrm{1}×\mathrm{55}=\mathrm{171} \\ $$$$\left.\Rightarrow{answer}\:{a}\right) \\ $$

(1+5x+9x^2 +13x^3 +17x^4 ...)  (1+x^2 )^(11) =(1+11x^2 +55x^4 +...)  like before, pick those who give x^4   1×55+9×11+17×1=171

$$\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{5}{x}+\mathrm{9}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{13}{x}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{17}{x}^{\mathrm{4}} ...\right) \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}+{x}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{\mathrm{11}} =\left(\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{11}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{55}{x}^{\mathrm{4}} +...\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{like}\:\mathrm{before},\:\mathrm{pick}\:\mathrm{those}\:\mathrm{who}\:\mathrm{give}\:{x}^{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}×\mathrm{55}+\mathrm{9}×\mathrm{11}+\mathrm{17}×\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{171} \\ $$
