When | x | < 1 2 , the coefficient of x 4 in the expansion of 3 x 2 - 5 x + 3 ( x - 1 ) ( 2 x + 1 ) ( x…

When |x|<12, the coefficient of x4 in the expansion of 3x2-5x+3(x-1)(2x+1)(x+3) is
  1. 72227
  2. 72427
  3. -72227
  4. -72427

Solution

Rewrite the given expression

F=-x2-53x+1(1-x)-1(1+2x)-11+x3-1

=-x2-53x+11+x+x2+x3+x41-2x+4x2-8x3+16x41-x3+x29-x327+x481

On neglecting higher degree terms

=-1+x+x2+x3+x4-53x+53x2+53x3+53x4+x2+x3+x4

Simplify the above expression.

=-1-23x+x23+x33+x431-7x3+439x2-25927x3+155581x4

=-216681

=-72227
