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
- $\frac{-26}{(10) !}$
- $\frac{-28}{(10) !}$
- $\frac{-30}{(10) !}$
- $\frac{-32}{(10) !}$
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}
