How many terms are there in the expansion of (1 + 2x + x2)5 + (1 + 4y + 4y2)5 ?
How many terms are there in the expansion of (1 + 2x + x2)5 + (1 + 4y + 4y2)5 ? Correct Answer 21
Concept:
In the binomial expansion of (a + b)n, there are total n + 1 terms.
Calculation:
⇒ (1 + 2x + x2)5 + (1 + 4y + 4y2)5 = (1 + x)10 + (1 + 2y)10
As we know that, in the binomial expansion of (a + b)n, there are total n + 1 terms.
⇒ The no. of terms in the binomial expansion of (1 + x)10 and (1 + 2y)10 is 11
∴ The no. of terms in the binomial expansion of (1 + x)10 + (1 + 2y)10 = 11 + 11 - 1 = 21
So, Option 3 is correct.
