Coefficient of $x^{10}$ in the expansion of $(2+3 x) e^{-x}$ is

Coefficient of $x^{10}$ in the expansion of $(2+3 x) e^{-x}$ is
  1. $\frac{-26}{(10) !}$
  2. $\frac{-28}{(10) !}$
  3. $\frac{-30}{(10) !}$
  4. $\frac{-32}{(10) !}$

Solution

$ \begin{aligned} (2+3 x) e^{-x} & \\ & =(2+3 x)\left(1-\frac{x}{1 !}+\frac{x^2}{2 !}-\frac{x^3}{3 !}+\ldots\right) \end{aligned} $ $\therefore$ Coefficient of $x^{10}$ in the above series $ \begin{aligned} & =\frac{2}{10 !}-\frac{3}{9 !} \\ & =\frac{1}{10 !}(2-30)=\frac{-28}{10 !} \end{aligned} $
