Let the sixth term in the binomial expansion of 2 log 2 10 - 3 x + 2 ( x - 2 ) log 2 3 5 m powers of 2 x - 2…

Let the sixth term in the binomial expansion of 2log210-3x+2(x-2)log235m powers of 2x-2log23, be 21 . If the binomial coefficients of the second, third and fourth terms in the expansion are respectively the first, third and fifth terms of an A.P., then the sum of the squares of all possible values of x is _____ .

Solution

Given,

Binomial expression,

2log210-3x+2(x-2)log235m

10-3x+3(x-2)5m

Now, T6=C5m10-3xm-52·3x-2=21         1

Also given,

C1m,C2m,C3m are in A.P.

So, 2·C2m=C1m+C3m

2×m!2!m-2!=m+m!3!m-3!

Solving for m, we get m=2 , 7 and m=2 (rejected), so  m=7

Put in equation 1

21·10-3x3x9=21

10-3x3x=9×1

3x=30,32

x=0, 2

Sum of the squares of all possible values of x=4.
