Q1
If the expansion of (x + y)^n contains a term with x^4y^2, what can be inferred about the value of n?
  1. n must be 6.
  2. n must be greater than 6.
  3. n must be less than 6.
  4. n can be any integer.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the expansion of (x + y)^n contains a term with x^4y^2, what can be inferred about the value of n?
  • Step 1: Identify the term given in the question, which is x^4y^2.
  • Step 2: Look at the exponents in the term. The exponent of x is 4 and the exponent of y is 2.
  • Step 3: Add the exponents together: 4 (from x) + 2 (from y) = 6.
  • Step 4: Understand that in the expansion of (x + y)^n, the sum of the exponents in any term must equal n.
  • Step 5: Since the sum of the exponents is 6, we can conclude that n must be equal to 6.
  • Binomial Expansion – Understanding how to expand expressions of the form (x + y)^n and the relationship between the exponents in the terms.
  • Exponents and Coefficients – Recognizing that the sum of the exponents in a term from the binomial expansion must equal the exponent of the binomial.
