The term independent of x in the expansion of x + 1 x 2 / 3 - x 1 / 3 + 1 - x - 1 x - x 1 / 2 10 ,   x…

The term independent of x in the expansion of x+1x2/3-x1/3+1-x-1x-x1/210, x1, is equal to ___.

Solution

Given x+1x2/3-x1/3+1-x-1x-x1/210

x1/3+1-x+1x10

x1/3-x-1/210

General term is Tr+1=10Crx1/310-r-x-1/2r

 10-r3-r2=020-2r-3r=0

r=4

Then, T5=C410=10×9×8×74×3×2×1=210
