The coefficient of the term independent of x in the expansion of (ax+bx)14 is
14!(7!)2
Suppose (r+1)th term in the given expansion is independent of x.
Then, we have:
Tr+1=14Cr(ax)14−r(bx)r
=14Cra14−rbrx14−2r
For this term to be independent of x, we must have:
14-2r=0
⇒r=7
∴ Required term =14C7a14−7b7=14!(7!)a7b7
