  • A. 1300
  • B. 1500
  • C. 1403
  • D. 1483

Solution

### Related Formula (1 - 2x)^26 = sum_r=0^26 binom26r (-2x)^r The coefficient extraction utilizes the distributive property over the polynomial (ax^2+bx+c). ### Core Logic Expansion of expression: (ax^2 + bx + c) sum_r=0^26 binom26r (-2x)^r For the term in x^2, we pick contributions yielding total power 2: a cdot (x^0 text term of sum) + b cdot (x^1 text term) + c cdot (x^2 text term) = 0 a cdot binom260(-2)^0 + b cdot binom261(-2)^1 + c cdot binom262(-2)^2 = 0 a - 52b + 1300c = 0 dots(1) ### Step 1: Formulate the system of linear equations For the term in x^3 (set to 0): a cdot (x^1 text term) + b cdot (x^2 text term) + c cdot (x^3 text term) = 0 a cdot binom261(-2)^1 + b cdot binom262(-2)^2 + c cdot binom263(-2)^3 = 0 -52a + 1300b - 20800c = 0 dots(2) For the term in x^1 (set to -56): b cdot (x^0 text term) + c cdot (x^1 text term) = -56 b cdot binom260(-2)^0 + c cdot binom261(-2)^1 = -56 b - 52c = -56 dots(3) ### Step 2: Solve the Linear System From (3), b = 52c - 56. Substitute into (2) divided by -52 to simplify: a - 25b + 400c = 0. Substitute into (1): a - 52b + 1300c = 0. Subtracting: 27b - 900c = 0 Rightarrow b = frac1003c. Wait, recalculating directly: From (2): -52a + 1300b - 20800c = 0 Rightarrow a - 25b + 400c = 0. From (1): a - 52b + 1300c = 0. (a - 25b + 400c) - (a - 52b + 1300c) = 0 Rightarrow 27b - 900c = 0 Rightarrow 3b = 100c. Substitute into (3): b - 52(3b/100) = -56 Rightarrow fractional results? Let's check coefficients accurately. binom263(-2)^3 = frac26 cdot 25 cdot 246 times (-8) = 2600 times -8 = -20800. Divide by -52: a - 25b + 400c = 0. Correct. (a - 52b + 1300c) - (a - 25b + 400c) = -27b + 900c = 0 Rightarrow 27b = 900c Rightarrow b = frac1003c. This contradicts integer expectations. Let's substitute b from (3) directly. b = 52c - 56. 27(52c - 56) = 900c 1404c - 1512 = 900c Rightarrow 504c = 1512 Rightarrow c = 3. Then b = 52(3) - 56 = 156 - 56 = 100. From (1): a - 52(100) + 1300(3) = 0 Rightarrow a - 5200 + 3900 = 0 Rightarrow a = 1300. ### Step 3: Compute final value We have a = 1300, b = 100, c = 3. a + b + c = 1300 + 100 + 3 = 1403 ### Pattern Recognition Polynomial-Binomial product coefficient extractions strictly generate cascaded linear Diophantine-style equations. Solving from the lowest degree constraint (x^1) upward sequentially unwinds the system cleanly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Maths: Binomial Theorem

Solution

### Related Formula For trinomial expansion: (1+x+x^2)^n = sum_r=0^2n a_r x^r Symmetric coefficients can be extracted by substituting x=1 and x=-1. ### Core Logic Let's perform the substitution: - For x = 1: 3^10 = a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + dots + a_20 quad text--- (1) - For x = -1: 1^10 = a_0 - a_1 + a_2 - a_3 + dots + a_20 quad text--- (2) ### Step 1: Extracting odd term sum Subtracting (2) from (1): 3^10 - 1 = 2(a_1 + a_3 + a_5 + dots + a_19) a_1 + a_3 + a_5 + dots + a_19 = frac3^10 - 12 Since 3^5 = 243 implies 3^10 = 59049: a_1 + a_3 + a_5 + dots + a_19 = frac59049 - 12 = 29524 ### Step 2: Finding a_2 and k Using expansion formula to find a_2 (coefficient of x^2): (1 + x + x^2)^10 = sum frac10!p! q! r! x^q + 2r quad (p+q+r = 10) For q + 2r = 2: - Case 1: r=1, q=0 implies p=9. Coefficient = frac10!9! 0! 1! = 10 - Case 2: r=0, q=2 implies p=8. Coefficient = frac10!8! 2! 0! = 45 a_2 = 10 + 45 = 55 Now substitute into the target relation: 29524 - 11(55) = 29524 - 605 = 28919 121k = 28919 implies k = 239 ### Pattern Recognition Substituting standard complex roots or positive units is the fastest way to resolve sum of subset coefficients in polynomial expansions.

Solution

### Related Formula Binomial expansion for checking remainders: (1 + kx)^n = 1 + n(kx) + fracn(n-1)2(kx)^2 + dots equiv 1 pmod x ### Core Logic Let the target expression be N = left((64)^64right)^64. Using power rules, N = 64^64 times 64 = 64^64^2. Let the large exponent exponent be n = 64^2. We need to find the remainder of 64^n when divided by 7. ### Step 1: Express Base in Terms of Modulus Observe that 64 = 63 + 1 = 7 times 9 + 1. Substituting this into the expression: N = (1 + 63)^n Expanding using the binomial theorem: N = 1 + ^nC_1(63) + ^nC_2(63)^2 + dots + ^nC_n(63)^n N = 1 + 63 cdot lambda = 1 + 7(9lambda) Since 7(9lambda) is perfectly divisible by 7, the remaining term is 1. ### Pattern Recognition Whenever the base can be written as km + 1, where m is the divisor, the value of (km + 1)^n equiv 1^n equiv 1 pmod m instantly, regardless of the size or complexity of the exponent layout. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem
