Find the coefficient of $x^{18}$ in ${(x^{2} + \frac{3 a}{x})}^{15}$ .

Open in App

Solution

We can write the expression as $x^{30} {(1 + \frac{3 a}{x^{3}})}^{15}$ which can be written as $x^{30} 15 \sum r = 0^{15} C_{r} {(\frac{3 a}{x^{3}})}^{15 - r}$

Coefficient of $x^{18}$ means $30 - 3 (15 - r) = 18 \Rightarrow r = 11$

The coefficient of $x^{18}$ is $^{15} C_{11} (3 a)^{4}$

$\Rightarrow 110565 a^{4}$
